"You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up."

We are to live our lives as examples to our children and grand children, I believe this is THE most important job we have as a parent. We raised our daughter and a grand daughter they were both raised pretty much the same way but the daughter has chosen a different path and the grand daughter has chosen to follow the Christian path. Of course as parents we love them both! However there is a different type of bond with the Christian GD because we have that bond that all Christians have. She is very serious about raising her children as Christians and is working hard to learn more herself so she can share the Lord's knowledge with them. Remember even if you are not a parent children are still watching you to see how to react to different situations. No matter where you are little eyes are watching! Show them what is right!

God bless!

I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content.

This is a scripture that I can relate to on a daily basis. I have COPD, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, painful feet from surgeries and just the way my foot structure is, and also had breast cancer a few years ago. So I have HAD to adopt this way of life or forever be miserable! I know that if I were not a Christian I could never feel that way. It is only thru the strength and assistance from my Savior that I am able to wake up and want to start another day. Now there are days when I wake up REAL slow but I eventually get there. I have to give my pain meds time to kick in, rub many assorted body parts with icy hot and drink my Red Bull, yes it actually helps my fibro pain! Then once the body is primed I can hit the day crawling.  I'm not looking for a pity party because I know many others out there have similar days, but what I am saying is there are lots of folks out there that have a much easier life than I do that whine daily about their poor lot in life. Well if I can make it out of bed every day then you have no excuse for whining! I am content where I am, sure I'd love for it to be better but I still have joy in my life regardless of my situation. It could be way worse, I still can get around with a little work and most important I have Jesus in my life to lift me up on those rough days. One of my favorite things is the Footprints in the Sand pictures because that is my life every day and every day Jesus is there for me, just waiting......

God bless!

 When my brother died, many who came to the viewing were from our church.  He served in the pre-school Sunday School with his wife.  It was mentioned not only in the Pastor's message, but in the eulogy given by one of his co-workers, who was also a believer.

I also appreciate that at both of my brothers' funerals, it was mentioned that they were in heaven because of what the Bible said about Christ's death, burial and resurrection.

Hugs,

Thank you so much Michael! That's my hubby's name too. I really appreciate feedback because so few people post here I sometimes wonder if I'm just blowing around my hot air.I used to teach an adult womens Sunday school class and really enjoyed it even tho I never taught anything in my life. I use the Daily Bread for a topic here and then God puts the words in my head. Sometimes I look at what I've written and don't even remember writing it, so it must be from Him! Kudos to you for you work at your church, I know how hard it is to get people to help sometimes so I'm sure you are much appreciated, keep up the good work! God bless!

Amen!!
I am a worship leader and music director at my church. That was so well put. It made my night reading this....

God bless,
Michael
