Train up a child...

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

*˚✻.💕 Children are a gift to us, they need to be treasured. Quality family times together are important. Parent and children relationship is a very vital relationship, so need to do all we can to keep it going. We need to daily ask God to fill our hearts with His love so that we can see our kids the way Jesus sees them.

*˚✻.💕 Satan is all out to destroy this beautiful institution God created called 'family'. It's sad to see kids turn away and walk in disobedience to their parents. The best protection our kids can have in these last days is to keep them bound by cords of love. We, as parents, need to spend more time with them.

*˚✻.💕 Let's learn to see a child as a child, and handle them with care. 

*˚✻.💕 Even when they are young, let's clearly differentiate between mischief and sin. Little kids are mischievous, but 'sin' must be explained, warned and punished for. 

 Bible says, 🎀 "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." (Proverbs 22:6)🎀

*˚✻.💕 We also need to 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! 

*˚✻.💕No matter what the circumstance, we are to raise them up in the fear and admonition of our Lord.

Be blessed,

Do all things in love...

(¯'💗'¯)

¸¸'•. ¸.•' ⁀⋱‿☆💗⁀⋱‿  

Each of us sure can do small things in great love! 

⭐️‿☆ So often we upset, are rude and hurt others unknowingly when we speak too quickly! 

I have done it too! Life teaches us the most valuable lessons! 

 ⭐️‿☆ Sometimes when we are busy and someone calls us, we tend to snap rudely. Doing so, we end up hurting kids, colleagues or a loved one. Instead, just pausing a second, taking a deep breath we can tell them kindly that we are busy with something, will call them back or will attend to them once done. 

⭐️‿☆ Sometimes when we are stressed, upset with someone else, we get angry with those close to us who has no idea why we burst out in anger. 

⭐️‿☆ May we be slow to speak. 

No wonder God's Word says in

✫🌸*✽* Proverbs 15 :1 "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."✫🌸*✽*

⭐️‿☆Life is a fast runner, may we smile more, spread joy, be caring, forgive easily, judge less, love and not hate, pray more, encourage others, be quick to say sorry, value vital relationships, love God with all our hearts, serve Him faithfully! 

🦋.* May we be honest in our opinion. 

🦋.* May we never compromise in what we believe is truth! 

🦋.* Stand up for what is right! 

🦋.* Be gracious in our manner.

🦋.* Be humble in our tone.

🦋.* Be thankful for what we are and all that we have! 

Thank You Lord Jesus!

Feel forgotten?

Feel forgotten?
Feel helpless?
Feel hopeless?
Rejected?
Are you clueless what life has in store?
Fearful of your future?
🌷 Just take your eyes off your situation..
🌷Look up there is a God who cares and loves you. He says He will never leave or forsake you. If you are His, you do not have to fear!
He says in,🍁Isaiah 41:10, "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."🍁
🌷 Look around, you will still find people who care...!
🍁Zephaniah 3:17, "The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.”🍁
🌷 Rise up, thank God for this day, read, write, pray, encourage, listen to songs and messages that lifts up your soul,  be grateful, count your blessings. Your life God's gift, live it for Him!
🌷There are so many who feel forgotten, lonely!
🌷May we take time to reach out to some one who is lonely, who live in a home alone. We can atleast call and talk to them regularly.
🌷 And there are others who are lost in a crowd too.  Sometimes all they need is a listening ear, a few loving words, a whisper of prayer, words of encouragement or just our presence.
Be blessed...

Seasons change

༺.•🌺Even as seasons keep changing in nature, seasons in life too changes. We need to embrace change that comes our way gracefully. Some of us fail to live the life God graciously gifted us! 

༺.•🌺In Ecclesiastes 3, there is the call to plant, to love, to live, and to work and then to enjoy the fruits of all one’s labour. 

 ༺.•🌺 Life sure is not about work, work and more work that one fails to rest, spend time with God, family etc

Sometimes we are working hard, running in circles to work, study that we fail to pause a bit between our hectic schedule, to rest, relax, enjoy people and God's creation around so that we feel refreshed and renewed. 

Have a restful weekend! 

Julia 🌸🌿

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

To everything there is a season,

A time for every purpose under heaven:

A time to be born, And a time to die;

A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted;

A time to kill, And a time to heal;

A time to break down, And a time to build up;

A time to weep, And a time to laugh;

A time to mourn, And a time to dance;

A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones;

A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;

A time to gain, And a time to lose;

A time to keep, And a time to throw away;

A time to tear, And a time to sew;

A time to keep silence, And a time to speak;

A time to love, And a time to hate;

A time of war, And a time of peace.

(NKJV)

A Family that prays together...

How important is prayer for families?

Seeing families, relationships faling apart because they were not tied together with prayer. Homes, relationships not hemmed with prayer tend to easily fall apart.

Some one wrote...

"Prayer for families is the very foundation that keeps a family unit together."

Have you heard the phrase "A family that prays together stays together"?

Again I Quote:

"The concept is true - a family that has their focus on praying to the Lord Jesus Christ has a foundation that may be shaken at times, but it will withstand all that comes against them."

☘️May our 1st priority be God and our time with Him.

☘️Next is Family and time with family, building each other with prayer and love.

☘️3rd has to be Ministry/Business and other things.

When priorities are misplaced it is the family unit that falls apart.

🙏 Let us strengthen our personal prayer time and prayer alters at home, take time to pray together as a family before we pray with others and for others.

🙏 Let us pray for families and relationships strained within walls of the home due to lack of prayer, love and understanding.

🙏Let's thank God for our families this day and pray a hedge of protection around our families.

🙏So many marriages are in trouble, divorce among Christians on the rise.

There are people we know who's hearts are breaking, who are stressed out and on the verge of giving up, let us pray for them.

Have we neglected family prayers?

Time to get back to it...

Be blessed,

Julia 🌺🌿
