I received this in an email from a friend the other day. Some of you may have seen this chart before. Hopefully you will find it uplifting:o) GOD HAS A POSITIVE ANSWER:     YOU SAY GOD SAYS BIBLE VERSES You say:  'It's impossible' God says:    All things are possible (Luke 18:27) You say:  'I'm too tired' God says:  I will give you rest (Matthew 11:28-30) You say:  'Nobody really loves me' God says:  I love you (John 3:1    6 & John 3:34 ) You say:  'I can't go on' God says:  My grace is sufficient (II Corinthians 12:9 & Psalm 91:15) You say:   'I can't figure things out' God says:  I will direct your steps (Proverbs 3:5-    6) You say:  'I can't do it' God says:  You can do all things (Philippians 4:13) You say:  'I'm not able' God says:  I am able (II Corinthians 9:8) You say:  'It's not worth it' God says:  It will be worth it (Roman 8:28 ) You say:  'I can'...

I found this book at a thrift store when E. was a baby, and knew that someday I would read it to him(& S.R.:o) (found at Amazon.com  HERE ) We started reading it this morning at breakfast, and my kids are hooked. We have made it to Chapter 6 so far. In Chapter 2, some of the children in the story are singing "I Have Decided to Follow Jesus." While I was reading the story, I sang this part. So far, the story is emphasizing the importance of helping those in need. Well mommy was in need this afternoon:o)  Yesterday, E & S.R. thought it was a great idea to take all of the games out of the cabinet and "explore" them. Not a single piece was left in it's original box. After lunch today, it was their responsibility to pick up all of the pieces. I left them to do their work, and I heard E. start singing the song...and then S.R. chimed in. It was music to my ears. Just another reminder of why God should be and is the focus of our home. My two little angels singin...

The other day I ran across a 'new-to-me' blog called I was immediately drawn in. You guys know my stance on God and Christianity, so I was so happy to find this blog. I am even happier to share it with you all. The first post I read was,  How Do I Explain Modesty to my Young Child? Um, hello! This is something that I am definitely interested in, especially having a little girl. It's already hard enough to find appropriate clothing for my 3 year old. A lot of the dresses and shirts are made just like adult clothing..i.e. halter tops and spaghetti straps. That's one of the reasons I make S.R.'s clothes.  I have truly been uplifted reading Rebecca's posts, and I think you will too. So when you get the chance, take the time to visit Mom Seriously and show her some love by becoming a follower:o)
