"And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors." (Matt. 6:12)
Would you have strength to suffer wrong in the spirit in which Christ did? Accustom yourself in everything that comes to you to recognize the hand and will of God. This lesson is of more consequence than you think. Whether it be some great wrong that is done you, or some little offence that you meet in daily life, before you fix your thoughts on the person who did it, first be still and remember God allowed this trouble to come to you to see if you would glorify Him in it. This trial, be it the greatest or the least, was sanctioned by God and was His will concerning you. Therefore recognize and submit to God's will in it. Then in the rest of soul which this gives, you will receive wisdom to know how to behave in it. With your eye turned from man to God, suffering wrong will not be so hard as it seems.
We are the young sons and daughters of the King and should exhibit that graceful tact and Christian courtesy which can bear and forbear. Don't reprove and find fault, but encourage, bless, help! Be thou the rainbow in the storm of life.

Okay Dallas when you hit the ball you need to run to 1st base, 2nd base, and then home.....no mom! I don't want to go home!Reese was outside singing today while she was on the swing. And she says to me. "Mom, the sun is coming out because I am singing....I am wakin it up!" Keep singing girl, keep singing!Dallas: Look mom his doesn't have twin wheels! (translation:training wheels)Dallas: When I am a daddy....I want one of those baby Norahs.So sweet!Reese: Mom I like these things...What things? Reese: These Rat-tat-too-ies Do you mean Tattoos?Reese: Yah! TattoosDallas was holding Norah and this is what he said....Norah pooped. She pooped 3 times....Oooo....she pooped 10 times mom!!Reese was going to the bathroom and when she was done she looked (as all kids do) and said "oooo, look mom. I ate carrots!"Reese has been wanting her ears pierced. She spent that night at Ambers house and asked her if she could do it. Amber told her that it would hurt and after she did one ear she would have to do the second ear. She said "how bout you do the second ear first"We been telling the kids that Norah can't have anything to eat because she is to little. Dallas walks in the hospital and get up to look at Norah and says: "I want to see if she has a mouth"In the morning when the kids wake up they come and crawl in bed with us. I was laying on my side talking with Reese. She looked at me and said "Mom...your boobs are hugging" I just laughed. She then said "they love each other" The thoughts of a 5 ....and just in case you were wondering. I was wearing a tank top ;)Mom....when I am a mom I will have two kids and then we will have lots of kids at our house!!(And what do we have now...I am thinking)Dallas looked at my blog and the picture of the "barefoot and pregnant""mommy that's you!"Boy do I love that kid ;)My room is usually a mess. Of course I have all the "good" excuses as to why :) Well my surprise when I got home from work was a nice clean room with a made bed.When Reese came and got me this morning she said "Mom your room is Amazing!"
the things they say...
Reese: Hey mom look! She walks just fine and doesn't even need a cane! (we were at costco and she said this about an elderly lady...nice!)

ReplyDeletethis was beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe whole time I was thinking of any time that I have ever had someone lay their horn on me because they thought I was in the wrong...only to realize that I was driving right and they were in the wrong. At the moment I always slam on the breaks and later will show Tim what happended at the intersection to see if I was right...just to have the satisfaction of not being in the wrong! This definatly is God's doing...showing me where I need to just forgive! =)
So true, so true.
