Do you behave wisely?

Psalm 101:2 "I will behave wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

This morning as we were picking out a passage of scripture to memorize I had chosen one and then one of the boys asked can memorize PS 100. Sure why not, so I told them I'd like to write out PS 100 once. One of the boys were almost done with their assignment when he realized he had written PS 101 as he handed it to me and I was reading it verse 2 said it all!!

So our theme verse for this yr is PS 101:2 - my kids behave well, and general don't do a whole lot to be disciplined for. However every now and then they will be kids and not obey. Well, I must say this morning was a rough morning for them. Not sure why but they were just being good. So where the verse says "...within my house....." I told the boys this can also be "within my school". No matter where we are we are to behave wisely and with a perfect heart.

Now I realize NONE of us are perfect, but we can do our best and strive to have a perfect heart in our house, in our work place, in our school, in our time of play, even in our marriages, dating relationships, ANYTHING in life we can strive to have a perfect heart.

So as a thought for not only today but ALL days "...behave wisely...." "walk within my House with a perfect heart."

Love One another

This past Wed night our new Pastor preached out of I John 3 & 4. It was a great message and one of the things that really stuck was "love one another".

I think as Christians most of us do love one another. We should love the unlovable, the lovable, the homeless, the rich, no matter who the person is we are to Love them.

Chapter 4:7 "Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
8 He that loveth not knoweth not God: for God is love.

Just food for thought, make sure you are loving one another that is what Christ would have us do.

So to be Christ like as a Christian is to be, we need to Love one another!

Who do you run too?

A friend sent this to me and I wanted to share this with you:

 

 

 

"I Run to Christ"

 

 

I run to Christ when chased by fear

And find a refuge sure.

"Believe in me," His voice I hear;

His words are wounds secure.

 

I run to Christ when torn by grief,

And find abundant peace.

"I too had tears," He gently speaks

Thus joy and sorrow meet.

 

I run to Christ when worn by life,

And find my soul refreshed.

"Come unto Me," He calls through strife;

Fatigue gives way to rest.

 

I run to Christ when vexed by Hell,

And find a mighty arm.

"The Devil flees," The scripture tells'

He roars, but cannot harm.

 

I run to Christ when stalked by sin

And find a sure escape.

"Deliver me," I cry to Him;

Temptations yields to grace.

 

I run to Christ when plagued by shame

And find my one defense.

"I bore God's wrath," He pleads my case -

My advocate and friend. 

Family

This past wkend we left our home church to move up to Maine to work in a church and to help my Father in law with his farm. A very, very special lady whom I call Mom H, gave me this card. I'm going to share part of it  with you. Family is so very important!!!

 

A family is made up

of people who are

so close

you don't have

to think twice

about what

you're going to say

because

you know

you'll be

understood...

 

It's people you love

so much

and care about so much

that you'd do anything

for them

It's people

you think of first

when you have

something wonderful

to share,

and the ones you turn to when you just

can't turn to anyone else.

 

You're all these things to me

and that's why

I don't think of you

as being like family

because in my heart,

you really are!!

 

When God brings a special person into your life, there's always a reason :) That is why Mom H is FAMILY!!

 

God looks at family as very important! Man and Woman, mother and child, father and son.... I'm so thankful for blood related family as well as though I call family because they are special to me an always will be in my heart!!
