Ephesians Week 6

-
 Ephesians 5   5  1  Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children   2  and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. 3  But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people.   4  Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.   5  For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

So, today I want to write a little encouragement to myself and to you. Why? Consider how widely encouragement is urged and reported in scripture: -God to Moses : Encourage Joshua , because he will lead Israel (Deuteronomy 1:38) -Soldiers in the midst of battle" The men of Israel encouraged one another (Judges 20:22). - Joab to Saul before battle- Now go out and encourage your men (2 Samuel 19:7) Josiah to the priests: Josiah appointed the priests to their duties and encouraged them in the service of the LORD's temple (2 Chronicles 35:2) -Paul and Silas to the early church-After Paul and Silas come out of the prison, they went to Lydia's house , where they met with the brothers and encouraged them (Acts 16:40). -Paul to the disciples" When the uproar had ended, Paul sent for the disciples and , afte...

Today's funny

-
My 4 year old comes in to my bathroom this morning while I am getting a shower to inform me that he didn't make it to the toilet in time. I tell him to get undressed while I get out and I will put him in the shower. I wrap a towel around myself and stick him in the shower and hose him down. I lather and rinse him and …and I start to dry him, while I am still wrapped in a towel. He sees a little cleavage and tells me that he likes my chest. I just laugh and tell him thank you. Next he says, “But it is kind of siwwy” (translation/silly). Oh, the joys of children.

Blogging

-
Why blog? I want to blog so I can remember how God has revealed Himself to me and my friends. I want to blog so I can look back and laugh at the innocence of my children. I want to blog to stay connected to you. I want to share with you what God is teaching me and I pray this blog shows that I am just an ordinary mother of three with an extraordinary God. He alone helps me find joy in the hard times. He alone is my comfort and He alone do I desire to serve. Come back and see what He is up to.
