LITTLE ONES

For a long time I have been aware that every where I go and all that I do effects others. Every time I step foot out the door it never fails that I have interactions with someone young or old. Today there was a 10 year old young man in the neighborhood where I happened to be taking my niece for a walk. He had more than a few questions and some confusion about heaven and hell, being saved, and where does water come from? As I walked and talked with him I was reminded of the great priviledge we have to communicate truth and our lives say alot more than we think they do.

We actually influence so many each day though we may not even realize it. It is very important that we know what we believe in and that we not paint an unrealistic picture for others of the Christian life. It's very dangerous to give the impression that your life is smiles and joy all of the time. Even Jesus wept and sweated drops of blood. But He continually cried out to His Heavenly Father asking for strength and "Not my will but Yours be done." We should study to know the life of Jesus and by His grace be saved from anything that is false or counterfeit-religious-always wearing a mask- and trying to appear happy when you are actually coming apart inside.

A dear friend sent this video and I thought it would be a useful reminder to all who have children and to those who hope to have children.

TIME DEVOTED

When all the noise and chaos stops, then what do you got? When you cease to live for the approval of others and are no longer in competition with the best of them... suddenly you've got more time on your hands. It seems it is always a good time to reflect, review, and acknowledge what could be stealing precious time and resources and keeping us from being devoted to who and what really matters.                                                    The WORD of GOD and PRAYER. “The poor and needy search for water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst. But I the LORD will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. (Isaiah 41:17) IF WE WOULD DARE TO ADMIT IT, we are the poor and needy. We all need prayer and immediate assistance and direction and help even just to call on the name of Jesus, or pick up His Word daily. Pray for me to spend time as I should, not neglecting the little things.

DEAR CHILDREN OF GOD

As seasons change, anxieties creep in; doubts attempt to steal your peace, and cause you to second guess your decisions…slam the door on despair! Bride of Christ be aware and alert, ever watchful, remaining & abiding in Him. Open your ears, hear what the Spirit is saying to you. Do not entertain thoughts of accusations towards one another. Speak evil of no man. Realize who you are and the words of reconciliation that you have been entrusted with. (II Corinthians 5:17) Be reconciled one to another. Be reconciled to God. Reconcile all men unto God. Endeavor to keep the bond of peace. Forgive one another as God has forgiven you. Remember that He does not treat you as your sins deserve. That grace is not a excuse to keep on sinning, but merciful compassion that makes way for true repentance. So let’s get to it without delay! “GIVE NO OFFENSE IN ANYTHING THAT THE MINISTRY BE NOT BLAMED.” (II Corinthians 6:3) “Love keeps no record of wrongs.” (I Corinthians 13) “The anger of man
