Thoughts just for you….

As Christians, we are to Try to be more Christ Like. (Romans 8:29.)

This doesn’t mean that the day you accept Christ into your heart, that you are to be a perfect Christian. This is a gradual, lifelong, process that will only be completed when we see Christ face to face. (I John 3:2.)

To be “worthy,” of this calling means you want to do what is right and good, just as Christ would.

Some ways to grow more like Christ are:

  • Read the Bible every day, and understand what it means by searching the concordances, etc.
  • Speak to God each day in prayer and feel the closeness He provides, just like He did for Jesus.
  • Fellowship with other Christians, through your church, or in Bible study groups.

It is hard, at best, to survive in this unfriendly world, but when we try to follow the right path God has for us, it is much easier.

 

Remember:

You are not alone.

You are not forsaken.

You are not unloved.

Above all…never ever, give up!!

Thoughts just for you….

Father’s Day was last month. Mother’s Day is in May. As fathers and mothers what is our responsibility?

When we first got married we didn’t think of what it might be like to have children. We enjoyed our marriage and went on with life. Then a wonderful thing happened. A little one came into our lives.

What a change! This little bundle of joy had more impact our our lives than anything else would ever do. We had to adjust our daily routine to fit the needs of our child. We had to earn enough to provide for them. We had to make sure we planned for their future.

What sort of plans did you have for you children? Was it tough love time and they had to learn on their own, and you went about your own business? I think  not.

My point is, we as parents have a tremendous impact on our children either positive or negative.

Proverbs tells us that how the tree is grown will be the final outcome. That is certainly a vague interpretation, but it means that how we teach our children will be how they will be many years from now. What we say and do will have an affect on them.

I am so blessed with the children I have. I made sure they went to church with me every Sunday, and tried to be a good example for them.

I can now say that all three of my adult children are Christians, and they all married Christians spouses. They all have Christian children. Not because I am something special, and need to boast. It is because of consistent love and guidance through the  years, that has brought each of them to their own level of trying to be good parents as well.

Think about what kind of example you are for your children? If you aren’t comfortable with the way things are going, change it. God allows U-turns in your life. It is never too late!

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

And Above all…never, ever, give up!

Thoughts just for you…

I had a very interesting last few days. It is called a wedding! My nephew and his future wife had the rehearsal dinner on Thursday night. The rehearsal went well, and we headed to the rehearsal dinner.

It was at a Greek restaurant. I have only been to a Greek restaurant a couple of time, and this was a great experience.

The food came in different courses. First we had several different kinds on appetizers.  The calamari was different in that it either had huge pieces of tenecles  from a larger octopus, or the whole octopus, but a tiny little ones. I had nothing to to with the little guys. I didn’t want them sliding down my throat.

The main course was wonderful. Lamb chops, and a Greek salad that was out of this world.

All this time wine bottles were being brought to the tables. Every Time there was an empty bottle they replaced it with a full one. Can you begin to know what the atmosphere was getting to be like?

Then after about an hour, a belly dancer came out and all the groomsmen went nutzo!!She did very well with the dollars being place on her (don’t know what it is called) Skirt?

Then it was Saturday, and the wedding. It was a beautiful wedding. It was set in the woods near a river.

The pastor talked to the couple, and pronounced them man and wife.  Afterwards at the reception, was another “party,” with free wine and beer. It got pretty wild in there after a while. No one was overly drunk, but there were certainly a lot of very happy people.

This brings up the question about weddings:

If you are married can you tell me what was actually said by the person doing the ceremony? Most of us can remember the words, “to cherish, and to hold,” and “Til death do us part.” But what about what the Pastor said directly to you?

At this wedding this Pastor said, “Wives, submit yourselves to your husband. Support him through the trials, and and the happiness of life.  Husbands respect your wives, and treat them with love and compassion.

I can remember some of the words my Pastor used, and still try to be the best husband I can be to my lovely wife.

So, the wedding is over…now what? There will be days of shear joy, and days of hurt feelings, and little spats. It is called life.

Remember that you should love your spouse as much as the day you first married them. Many times the love grows into something much more wonderful. That is what has happened in my life.

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

Above all….never, ever, give up!
