Parenting is basically just punctuating every conversation with various commands:
“Yes, I like your picture. Put on your shoes.”
“My favorite color is yellow. Finish your breakfast.”
“No, fish don’t snore. Go brush your teeth.”
@ddblankenship Not true! Don’t let the enemy have a foothold in your mind to speak those lies to you. You are fearfully and wonderfully made and God is using you!
Believing God is not always easy.
Loving others is not always easy.
Trusting God is not always easy.
Forgiving others is not always easy.
Receiving grace is not always easy.
Being kind is not always easy.
Being hopeful is not always easy.
Don’t stop because it’s not easy.
December 21st. Winter solstice. The darkest day of the year.
Every day of the fall has been getting darker towards today.
But tomorrow?
It starts getting lighter. In tiny tiny increments. But light is coming. It doesn't get any darker than today.
Light is coming.
Just stay with it, fellow sojourner in Jesus. Keep putting one foot in front of the other. When you can’t go any further, sit down & rest till you can. Run when you’re able. Collapse when you must. Help others back to their feet when you can. This perilous journey ends in bliss.
What if the greatest threat to American Christianity isn’t socialism or liberal judges, but something seemingly benign like kids’ travel sports leagues?
