Happenings at the Lazy D Ranch

Public Apology
 

Sometimes God uses people who are not necessarily a functioning part of your life to chastise you.   I have been convicted by another Christian sister that my comments were not kind nor loving toward the women that I wrote about in THE TALE OF TWO TABLES.  After reading her message to me I admit that even though I do lead a much different life then the women at table two I did not show love towards them. 

Thankfully this comes at a time where God has been already working on my heart.  Softening it to be more like Him.  Loving one another is the greatest commandment next to loving God.  As I was teaching my children that loving your brother or sister shows that you love God I was not being a great witness to them on how to do this. 

I have said this before but I am beginning to see more clearly how true this is:  Homeschooling, family integrated, reformed, adoption, quiverful, etc does not make one greater then another.  For the Davis family it is the way of life BUT it is all for naught if we do not have love.

Eric has been reading I Cor. 13 nightly for us.  It has not only sunk in but has become much more then just a passage read at a wedding.  "If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbol.  If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.  If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing."

So, Table two (you know who you are) please accept my sincere apology for not loving you as Christ would have me to. 

*This entry is similar to the one that I posted in the Tale of Two Tables entry.  I have deleted the original message as not to cause any more strife and because it does not reflect my heart nor the love of Christ.

Posted by thector87


All I know is that we are going to Alaska. I have no idea who, what, when, why, or how we are going. I am looking forward to it though!
