LOOK UP!

A couple of weeks ago we all went to the cellular phone store. If you have ever went to a cellular phone store, you know that you could be there for a very long time. Anyway, I decided to avoid the stress and wait in the car. I laid down in the backseat and decided to try and take a nap. As I did, I looked up at the sky. I looked at the bright sunshine. I watched the billowy white clouds floating ever so slowly by (and yes I did try to find pictures in the clouds). And I realized something! I realized just how small I am! We go about our days most of the time looking back, looking ahead, looking side to side and looking down. But how often do we look up? Think about it. If we look up at the vastness of the sky and think about the greatness of the universe we should be humbled. There is no room for pride or arrogance when we remember that we are mortals, created by God. We have been put on this huge planet, set in a solar system, surrounded by the heavens. How can we boast? How can we think that we are powerful? How can we do anything but fear God, humble ourselves, and be in awe of Him who has all the power. Look up daily and be humbled!

*Some ways to save time cooking in the kitchen:
-Crockpot
-Buy frozen meals a couple nights a week
-Make enough one night for leftovers the next and do this all week. You'll find you save money
this way too

The Hardest Job

For all you stay-at-home mommies--GOD BLESS YOU! What a blessing it is to be able to stay home and raise your children. There is nothing greater. No amount of money. No big house. No new car. No title. Can measure up to that great priviledge and honor. If children are a gift from God (and they are), then obviously that is the job he has given to you. "Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6 No matter what anybody else adds to their life, YOU are their number one role model. You are the one they can trust. You are the one that loves them like no one else can. Children need security and acceptance. They need to know you love them unconditionally. They need to know that you are always there for them. In good times and bad.

MOTHER IS the hardest job there is! But it has the most rewards! So take care of yourself too. Eat right, find time to get some exercise, spend time in the Word of God to find strength. You will need it! Enjoy the journey of motherhood..............................................................................

*Don't think you have time to read the Bible? Set out an open bible on your kitchen counter and evertime you pass it read a verse. It's like snacking all day!

THE PASSION

GOOD FRIDAY! GOOD NEWS!
"FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONE AND ONLY SON, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVES ON HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. FOR GOD DID NOT SEND HIS SON INTO THE WORLD TO CONDEMN THE WORLD; BUT THAT THE WORLD THROUGH HIM MIGHT BE SAVED." JOHN 3:16

PERSPECTIVE: Don't judge but love. If we are Christ's ambassador's, we must love people like Jesus did. When Jesus talked to the Samaritan woman at the well he did not condemn her. He just made her aware that she was a sinner. He helped her see. Then He told her about living water.

I will not be blogging or on facebook until Monday. I am taking these next few days to remember who I was, what He did, who I am, and where He wants me to be. Have a blessed Easter and tell someone the Good News this Easter Weekend.
