Home~

The Lord brought Tom home safely yesterday~ through plenty of traffic and rain safely...God heard our prayers~ He did very well and will go back for one last week of driving school within the next two weeks..and than we will see where the Lord will put him. We know that He has a plan ...His perfect plan for a job for Tom..a home for our family..We need to keep our focus on the Lord and He will give us what we need~ We spent our Saturday night at church ..it was a wonderful encouraging sermon on our nations "Christian roots"....because no matter what the president says...WE ARE NOT A SECULAR NATION! OUR NATION WAS FOUNDED ON GOD BY MEN OF GOD! It is really the time for believers to rise up and stand for what is true and right...It is time for us to begin to intercede for our nation~ Let us not become so jaded and apathetic that we simply ignore the state of those around us...This could very well become the defining moment for not just our country but for our families as well as they look at us and how we respond .....what are we doing to instill our faith in our children? what do our lives say about us? Are we so busy trying to attain things that we've lost track of what's important...Are we loving and kind to our neighbor...our families...our friends...? Do our actions speak of Christs love? Life is too short to waste it by just getting by....I want to live the way God wants me to~ I want to respond in Christian love to those around me...I need to remember that people are watching...and even more than that...God is watching.

THAT DISREGARDS THE ETERNAL RULES OF ORDER AND RIGHT, WHICH HEAVEN ITSELF HAS ORDAINED."

Very good questions we should all ask ourselves often."What do our lives say about us?" Whether we acknowledge it or not, our lives produce fruit of some sort, and the fruit is the result of the tree we are.....is the fruit shriveled, rotten? Scarce or almost non-existant? I would hope to allow the Master Gardener to produce the very best fruit....
