Directions To Our Father’s House

Monday, March 30th, 2009

This is a little something that Dad found awhile back, and brought home because he thought I’d like it!!!  Enjoy!!!

Make a Right onto Believeth Blvd.

Keep straight and go through the Green Light, which is Jesus Christ.

There, you must turn onto the Bridge of Faith, which is over troubled water.

When you get off the bridge, make a Right turn and Keep Straight.

You are on the King’s Highway - Heaven-bound.

Keep going for three miles: One for the Father, One for the Son, and One for the Holy Ghost.

Then exit off onto Grace Blvd.

From there, make a Right turn on Gospel Lane.

Keep Straight and then make another Right on Prayer Road.

As you go on your way, yield not to the traffic on Temptation Avenue.

Also, avoid SIN STREET because it is a DEAD END.

Pass up Envy Drive and Hate Avenue.

Also, pass Hypocrisy Street, Gossiping Lane, and Backbiting Blvd.

However, you have to go down Long-suffering Lane, Persecution Blvd. and Trials & Tribulations Avenue.

But that’s all right, because VICTORY Street is straight ahead!!

Kids Say The Darndest Things!!

My son and I have had some….interesting….discussions here lately.  Some of them have just been about whatever has been going on, others have been about books we’ve been reading, and still others have been about the Bible and religion.

One of our conversations about the Bible here about a month or so ago was about the verse in Matthew that says that you are supposed to love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.  When my son asked me what that meant, I told him that, normally, the ones that persecute you are your enemies, which basically meant that we are to pray for our enemies.  He thinks about it for just a minute, and then he says “That’s not right!”.  I explained to him that it was a VERY difficult thing to do sometimes, but that’s what Jesus wants us to do…pray for our enemies.  He repeated “That’s not right!”…I kind of chuckled at him and told him that we didn’t have to like it, but that’s what Jesus/God wants us to do here on Earth, and that’s what we should do.  He repeated again that that was not right, and I asked him if he was willing to tell God that that wasn’t right when he got to Heaven.  He didn’t even hesitate before he said “Yeah!!! ‘Cause that’s not right!!!”…*LOL*  I can see my son going up to God in Heaven and saying that they needed to have a discussion because “That’s not right!!!”…*L*

Oh, the joy that children bring into our houses!!!
God Bless!!!

Spontaneous

Friday, March 20th, 2009

I had a friend ask me several months ago when the last time was that I did something “spontaneous”.  I told her I felt like my life was “spontaneous”.  I rarely have any “set” plans…..I DON’T make too many plans that can’t be changed on the spur of the moment….We just kind of fly by the seat of our pants most days and pray God is in control and makes things turn out alright.  Well, I did something that I’m not sure would be classified “spontaneous” or not yesterday.  It was DEFINITELY something that I hadn’t done in a long time, though….ever actually.  I went to www.kcm.org and loaded up their “BVOV All Word Radio” and listened to service after service yesterday and most of the night last night.  I was feeling kind of…..shall we say….down? yesterday…I wasn’t feeling too hot because of a headache, and I just felt like I needed a word from God.  Can you imagine having the word of God preached to you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week?  After several hours of services, I was feeling better, at least in some ways!!!  And, I HAVE to say that the services they were running were EXACTLY what I needed to hear!!!  I NEED to see about getting a copy of them, so I can listen to them again!!!  It was VERY uplifting, spiritually, and I thank God for the internet and the ability to be able to do stuff like that!!!

God Bless!!!

Have You…?

Friday, March 6th, 2009

….ever had someone tell you you were “awesome”?  Maybe this person was more like a passing acquaintance that you saw a couple of times a year?  And THEN, you find out that this passing acquaintance has told someone relatively new to your neighborhood that you are “awesome”, and they even bring them by to introduce you and prove their point?

What makes a person “awesome” to someone else?  ESPECIALLY when you may not know each other very well?  How do you respond to that?  Personally, I’m not sure HOW I would respond?  What about you?

God Bless!!!
