Blessings From Above

The joys of family continues to nurture my soul.  Daily the children are all such a blessing and I sometimes stop and just listen with my heart to the things they struggle with and try to guide them onto the path their Heavenly Father desires.  We live in such a hard community.  There is so much comfusion.   I am so thankful that Jesus died to save us all.  As we discuss the struggles we have daily, we reflect on God's love for all of us and seek his word diligently to be able to stand against whatever comes against us.  God has so richly blessed everything we touch.  We are forever grateful for it all.  We are so humble to His wishes.  As my oldest son matures, we see such strong pulls to a sin nature, and we pray and weep with him on the necessary changes that have to be made.  We daily remind him about the sacrifice Christ made on that Cross.  It was not in vain, it is to help us, yes even today, we need his Blood to cleanse our sinful nature.  So as your wee one's mature remember God has guidance and wisdom in all circumstances.  He is always there to answer our cries.  Let Him be head of your home tonight and forever more.  He is Wonderful. As we tell our boys God has a plan for your life, it is already there, when the time is right He will place you where He needs you.  My oldest especially has such a heart to travel, sometimes when he talks to friends about the shoot him down like he is foolish,  I told him to pray for them for we are all foolish in our simple thoughts, God;s thoughts are greater and will always prevail.  I have taught him to be a respector of persons, no matter what they say about you.  God asks us to respect one another.  Just continue to work on their hearts, don't let them go cold.  We a whole generation of us have been there and I know I don't ever want to go back.  May the love of Christ Bless you and your household always. 

Hearts need Healing. My Valentine Wish

It's been a long time, a week to be exact that I have had some time to sit at the computer.  This week like every week, something new is always learned.  I thank God my Heavenly Father for His Grace and mercy which is so abundant.  I continue to pray daily for Grace in our home and a Godly husband who loves the Lord.  That the desires of our hearts will be to fulfill our destiny in what the Lord has for our lives.  Not to live selfishly.  This is so easy to say but so hard to get to that place.  It is taking us a long time and the journey is so rough at times.  Sometimes I want to quit and fly away to a warm and beautiful place where there are no things to worry about.  Then my heart is reminded in it's tired state there is refreshment and it comes from heaven.  Not from a tropical Island far away.  We  humans are so easily deceived.  We learned a great lesson this week on being a believer in Christ.  It is not what we say with our mouths that make us followers of Christ, it is believing with our hearts and repentance that brings in the Holy Spirit who then does the work of purifying our hardened hearts,  One of the boys pointed this out to me.  I always wondered why there are so many people who claim to be Christians but continue to follow the ways of the world,  I would always wonder why do they not feel convicted of this sin, or why do the believe the lies of this world.  Even Jesus who is the Son of God relied on His Father for Direction, Wisdom, Strength and all his needs were met,  a speck of dust like me cannot make it through a day without pressing on to the Lord for some help.  Our families prayer is that this repentant heart would come out to our community churches ,and the Holy Spirit could refresh this town and a desire to commune with our Heavenly Father would come alive in VA. Revival of our Hearts.  Lord put healthy desires into our hearts and souls, strengthen us that we might stay steadfast in your words and prayers for the salvation of your children.  Let us not be haughty and think that we are better than anyone but that we might be humble and gracious to all mankind who is created in the image of God.  Thank you Heavenly Father.   

Blessings From The Lord.

As the day ends and night falls upon us, we prepare to rest and my thoughts are on how closer have we drawn to our Heavenly Father?   Have we told Him how much we love Him and how thankful we are for what we have been blessed with.  I am a mother of three boys and my youngest turned 11 this weekend.  I feel sad, I long to have more children but my womb seems to be shut.  I have wept and wept and there are no more tears left, acceptance is now here and God's Grace continues to fill me.  I hear such sad stories about people not wanting babies and I yearn to hear one cry in my home.  I even hear babies cry in my sleep, sometimes I am even holding one.  I know God has something wonderful planned for my family, and I will continue to fight the good fight, do the duties of motherhood an exceptionial calling that only God can carry us through and strengthen us, and caring for my wonderful family that God has so blessed me with.  Today was a beautiful day, the boys are transitioning from little boys to young men.  They are delightful and full of strength. Lord I thank You for all the Blessings you give to us daily, the Gift of Life is Truly a wonderful thing and We are so thankful for Your Grace and Mercy. 

How do We succeed in raising Godly children?

Question of the day?  What is the secret.  In seeking the Lord I am finding it has a lot to do with my heart and attitude towards my children, when they make errors in judgement, my response has a lot to do with the way the situation will go.  Why does a mother have such great influence?
