A verse has been getting my attention this week: Matthew 6:25 & 27a: 25 "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?" 27a "Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?"
We "worried" about a few things this week and I know of others that have worried this week also. God tells us in Matthew basically not to waste time but to trust in him. He is always faithful. Psalm 37:25 "I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread."
Thank God we've never had to beg for bread!!!
We just watched Evan Almighty, http://www.evanalmighty.com/; last night. If you haven't seen it yet, rent it today! It's really good. It's funny how a movie can show you how important it is to trust in God. Why worry? Why not just obey Him? Let us know what you thought about the movie if you saw it.
God Bless and have a worry-free day!
Psalm 127:3b Children are a reward from God!
Memo to Mommy- Article Parents Magazine September 2008
You have a lot of lessons to teach your little ones, but they have a few words of wisdom for you too...
- Stop freaking out about the mess! There's always time to clean0 but how often do we get to make mud pies?
- Love me, even when I'm naughty. I'll only be this age once.
- Be patient. I do everything for a reason, but I don't know enough words yet to give you an explanation.
- Let me do it. I know you can do it faster and better, but sometimes experience is the best teacher.
- Don't expect too much of me. I want to do what you ask and make you happy, but I'm still little.
- Keep your promises. It's all about trust. When I'm a teenager, you'll understand why it's so important.
- Don't try to reason with me when I'm having a tantrum. Trust me- I can't hear you over my own screaming.
- Don't keep asking me if I've been good. I'm not even sure what that means, but if I was bad I'd never admit it!
- Don't let me think that you're perfect. I feel a lot better knowing I'm not the only one who makes mistakes sometimes.
- Set limits. I can't actually eat a whole box of cookies- I just want to see if I'd get away with it.
