Bless the child....

Bless your children for generations to come...

Family can be one of our most treasured assets. People who love us unconditionally and are there for us in times of crisis as well as just hanging out and laughing.

Getting to know your family and keeping in touch with them on a regular basis is more of a blessing than I ever realized. My children are feeling those blessings now and I couldn't be more thankful!

Keep in touch with loved ones! Check on the elderly in your family, stay involved in their lives and draw them into yours. They have so much wisdom about life ! What an advantage to have someone who has walked the path you are on before to give you insight on your journey.

I have made a point recently to check in on my grandparents more often. Remembering the many days and night I spent with them as a child, I want my children to know more about them and understand how strong the bonds of family are. Where they come from will help them get to where they are going!

As we go out into our crazy world this week don't forget the ones who got us here! Draw from their strengths and give them a new take on life from your perspective!
I love to watch my kids soak up the love and knowledge from these amazing people!

Have a great week!
Call your Grandma!!!

The Proof is in the Pudding!

Amen!

You have heard the saying " The Proof is in the Pudding". This is more true now than ever! As I struggle to balance life in this world and my walk with Jesus Christ, I have to constantly remind myself of this very thing. I believe with all my heart in the Lord Jesus Christ, that I am here to benefit his kingdom. When I look around and see others who don't put Christ first I usually say a prayer and feel kinda sorry for them.

This week like so many weeks before it I am struggling financially. The things I used to take for granted I now covet! Trips to the salon, shopping (discount of course), and great vacations are on hold! Now every penny must be thought about and put to good use. I have been thankful for these times for the most part because they strip me down and I find out who "me" really is.

Without these struggles I would not have developed the relationship with Christ that I have now. Still, when I see others doing so well and shopping, going on these vacations, landscaping, etc. this week I have had to remind myself how blessed I truly am, how great God is, and how without fail through my faith and serving this will be the greatest life I could possibly have!

Jesus Christ is the proof in the pudding! We can stand on his word and promises without fail! I am amazed at how my human frailties seep through at times! I still on a regular basis have to look in the mirror and counsel me. LOL! I just wanted to share these thoughts...say a prayer and remind us all we are living the greatest adventure ever with Jesus, and that is the best pudding I could ever ask for, Bless you all. Have an awesome week!
