Thank you Lord for our kids...

"Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward" (Psalm 127:3).

They need to be treasured. They are precious gift to us from our Lord. As they grow up they teach us, bless us and are like anchors!

May we daily cover our children with prayers. Remember, they often don't understand the unseen forces that are coming against them. So, it's our responsibility to stand against those forces on their behalf.

Thank you Lord for our kids! Keep them safe O Lord from every snare and deception of the enemy...!

Children are God's gifts~Author unknown

"CHILDREN ARE GOD'S GIFT " (Something to think about...)If you are a parent, read this. Better yet, keep it where you can read it regularly...

# 1) My hands are small, don't expect perfection whenever I make a bed, draw a picture, or throw a ball. My legs are short, slow down so that I can keep up with you.

# 2) My eyes have not seen the world as yours have; let me explore it safely; don't restrict me unnecessarily.

# 3) Make time for me, housework will always be there; I am only little once.

# 4) I have feelings too; don't nag me about my inquisitiveness. Treat me as you would like to be treated.

# 5) I am a gift, treasure me as God intended. Hold me accountable, give me guidelines to live by, discipline me with love.

# 6) I need encouragement to grow, not empty praise. Go easy, you can correct the things I do without putting me down.

# 7) Give me the freedom to make decisions, even if they are not always right. Permit me to fall, so I can learn to walk.

# 8) Don't do things repeatedly for me; that makes me feel like my efforts do not measure up to your expectations. Please do not compare me with others; I am me, not them.

# 9) Don't be afraid to leave me with grandparents so that you can have a weekend together. Kids need some times away from parents, just as parents need some time away from children. Besides it shows us that your marriage is something very special.

# 10) Take me to Gods house and introduce me to Him, because I will need Him for the rest of my life.

God is concerned about the lonely...

Psalm 68:6, "God sets the lonely in families, he leads forth the prisoners with singing..."

There are people around who are lonely and hurting....

Today...can we listen to, stretch out a hand...

Say a kind word of encouragement or pray for them (a whisper of prayer can make a ton of difference..)

You may put a smile on their face..

Can we go that extra mile today to brighten a lonely person around us...?

God Bless You,

As we walk this narrow path...

We will encounter different kinds of people as we walk this narrow path.

Some will encourage us, some discourage, some will love and some hate, some will help steady our faltering step and some mock our struggle.

Let this not discourage us! 

Let us keep our eyes fixed on our Savior the Author and Finisher of our race! Let not what we hear and see around take us off track!

One day each of us have to stand before our Maker.

Let us faithfully serve the King!

Look around and be a blessing

Life is such a rush nowadays...
We may not be able to do something big for someone..but what really counts is that somehow in our busy lives when we take a moment to say, 
♥"Take care or God bless you or have a nice day, or just a simple Good Morning or I'm praying for you" it may mean a lot to somebody out there.. ! 
♥So..as we look around today, we may find...
*Someone is in pain and hurting. 
*Someone may be struggling from an addiction, 
*Someone may have lost a loved one, 
*Someone's marriage may be falling apart. 
*Someone in a deep financial crisis..
*Some one may have found just found out they have cancer...
♥We sure can say a word of prayer or share a word of encouragement.
It is a start...
Bless you all...
Have a blessed week...

Every child is special...

Hi....

*HEBREWS 11:23 says,"By Faith Moses' parents hid him for 3 months after he was born because they say he was no ordinary child and they were not afraid of the king's edict."

   ٠•●★Every child on earth is special  because God has great plans for each of them.

٠•●★So we need to believe in God's Word(His promises), wait upon Him, claim His promises and raise up our kids in faith.

٠•●★Let's see each of our kids as unique in God's sight and always confess positive things about them. Each of them are precious, loving, unique and special!

Let's value and treasure them....
