Well, here it is. I'm going to
start doing a daily devotional, I have wanted to start
doing my own for months but cant seem to for some reason. So, I thought
to my self, self....what do you do everyday? And,
my self said, silly, you play on the pc
every day. So, I thought, good idea, I will post a devotional for
everyone to see and it will kind of be like a
support group. It is going to be a devotional
for moms.....so all you mommies, please take the time to do this!!
May it fill you with the joy and happiness of the
Lord, and help grant you patience that we
need with our kids. :) God bless, and I hope you enjoy.
I am going to start these the first of October. I will try to have them up by 10 AM (EST) every morning. It all depends on the babies though. So please bare with me on the days it doesn't get up that early.
Well, good morning. I wish you all a
well week as I try to get this off
the ground. God Bless and I hope you enjoy and it fills
your mind, heart and soul with the love of Jesus and teaches how
God prepared us to be mommies.
Weekend Devotion The Legacy of Eve You and I have inherited Eve's fallen nature, but we also have been granted God's presence and our own capability to decide what we will do with what we have. Have you watched a sick child with apprehension and perhaps even terror gnawing at your hear? I recall such a night when out fifteen-month-old son had drunk large amounts of kerosene. With all his strength he had fought the hospital's stomach pump, and as he lay limply on the sheet, I could se ugly bruises marking his delicate little body. The hardest part about waiting is that doubts begin to creep in. Does God see me here? Does he really care about my anguish? Is he punishing me for negligence? God allows us - his weary, wounded, grieving children - to lay all our burdens and cares on him. In such times I suggest a prayer with four petitions: 1. Dear Lord, show me what resources I have. 2. What are my alternatives in this situation? 3. Guide me to the best option. Show me why I should choose it. 4. I trust you to show me what to do next. Thank you for your never failing kindness.
Life involves a series of choices. Because decision-making is such a routine part of life, I sometimes forget that every course of action I select affects some young imitator. Eve reminds me that so often I live by trial and error, and I need to learn instead to live by trusting God. Skillful living starts with hearing, and obeying, Gods commands. Scripture for this weekend: Genesis 3 Psalm 37:3-6 Ephesians 5:1
