Verse for the week

1 Timothy 2:1, 2 “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; for kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.”

So now the election is over and we, who didn’t vote for the president-elect, weren’t all that enthused.   Some were mad and some were sad.  I was not happy, but had to come to the point of ok, this is the way it is what can I do?  The Lord led me to the verse above that exhorts us to pray for those in authority.  Yes, we always try to remember to pray for our president, but we really need to be faithful in that, especially now.  So much In our world is going on and I don’t believe that our president-elect is ready and I don’t know enough about him, BUT I am exhorted, and so are you, to pray for him.  So, that is what I will do.  There are many areas of this next presidency that we, as Christians, will have to be diligent in our prayers.

I was impressed with Sarah Palin and am reading a book about her by Kaylene Johnson.   I was happy to read of her personal relationship with the Lord.  I had heard she was a Christian and it was nice to read some of the things she did as a teen, such as sign yearbooks with Bible verses and how she took her commitment to the Lord very serious.  I don’t know what the future holds for her, but she impressed me and I do believe that God can and will use her in a mighty way, one way or another.

The boys are back in full swing for schooling this week and I am getting real sick of “trying” to teach my oldest some geometry.  I don’t even remember this stuff that I am teaching him, and it hasn’t been easy to teach!  I’ll be glad when this weeks math is over because this geometry stuff will be over for a little while.  Next chapter is business math and I’m good at that and so is he; but then it’s back to some more geometry.  In the spring is algebra, and I think I like that better than the geometry!!

The boys have made out their Christmas lists.  There are some interesting things on their lists.  As they get older they get harder to buy for!  They’ve always been pretty content with whatever we have got them.  I know some kids who have to get what they want and everything they want or they are not happy.  I am thankful that my boys aren’t like that and that they appreciate what is given to them.

Tonight I cut the boys hair, my husbands hair and one of my dogs hair.  Poor Spanky’s cut didn’t come out so hot!! Tomorrow, I have to call the vet for my puppy, who has a hot spot on his face and it is oozing and he is scratching it.  I feel so bad for him, but I hope it’s not going to be costly, as this will be the fist visit to this vet.  I’m praying that it won’t be costly, but I can’t let it go any longer, as it seems to be getting bigger and he is scratching it a lot.

Well, this post has been long. I hope everyone is having a good week!  I hope you enjoyed coming by for a visit.  Please leave a post if you’ve read this, it is nice to see if anyone actually reads my posts.
