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. [ a ]   6  Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient.   7  Therefore do not be partners with them. 8  For you were once darkness, but now you are light i...

I met Russell in 1986 and we married in 1989 . God has granted us a great love for each other and great patience with each other. He and I are very different. He is an introvert; I am an extrovert. He is logical/ analytical and I am all heart. It works...He stole my heart 24 years ago and I do not want it back. I thank God for 21 great years of marriage and look forward to all we have ahead....

Thank Goodness I can count on Metamorphosis...

I think we all have days that we wish we could redo. I had one of those this week. Madeline, my daughter who is almost 10, was swinging outside with my 6 /12, year old son, John-Michael. John-Michael is my son that has NF, a tumor disorder. I am overly motherly, overly protective with him because he is the baby and because of his health. This is one thing that I have to be aware of as I parent him. I know it isn't' good for him and I have to make myself not baby him to death. Anyway, they were swinging in our backyard together and John-Michael had decided to swing with a 2 foot long stick. Well, I don't know if you all let your kids swing with sticks, but I don't even like them playing with sticks. I am forever saying, "put that thing down." She didn't alert him to the danger and tell him to put it down. John-Michael didn't remember those many, many conversations that I have had with them about sticks. He comes in crying....he has scraped himself with ...

my heart is stolen...

Look at her.... isn't she lovely? My precious Lupe' was a chihuahua/ papillion or a long-haired Chihuahua. We really miss her. It is hard to believe it has been several weeks without her. I keep thinking she is here. We miss her so much. This is why we decided to look for and find a papillion/ poodle....basically Lupe, minus the shedding. This is Olivie (Ah-Lee-Vee) our 7 week old papipoo. I once heard someone say, "isn't that a gynecological process gone awry?" LOL...anyway, we get to drive 7 hours to go get her in less than 2 weeks. I think she is just sweeter than sweet. 8 years ago, we did the puppy thing with Dirk, our schnoodle. I remember those nights of getting up every 3-4 hours to let him out. I am trying to get extra sleep now in anticipation of that. :) I will keep you all posted.
