Hello Monday {Family Values}

Hello Monday. Let's take it easy and relax today...okay? Good, I'm glad you agree.

Hello warm weather. I think we can finally pack away our boots and sweaters thankyouverymuch.

Hello vacation. It was wonderful to get away on a sister road trip {more on that later}. Have we been back for a week already?

Hello God of the {seemingly} impossible. All I've got to say is, "Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart." Psalm 37:4 {and no, it does not involve a guy ;)}

Hello encouraging/convicting preaching yesterday morning.

'Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.' - Matthew 22:37

How is our walk with the Lord? Are we serving Him half-heartedly? It can be so easy to get into the habit of going to church, reading our Bible, teaching Sunday School, etc. I know I can easily fall into the mindset of doing those things because it's the right thing to do, but I want to give my best to the Lord and do those things out of love rather than habit. He didn't go halfway to the cross for us or only forgive half of our sins. Let's stop serving Him half-heartedly and give our best to the Master!

Hello Family Values {a time on the last Sunday evening of the month where anyone can sing, play an instrument, quote Scripture, etc}. It's always a blessing to sing for the Lord, but even more so when the words mean so much to you and you try to focus on doing it with your whole heart.

Hello this song. The words say it all..."I don't need to know the outcome of His plan. I will trust His ways, though I can't see His hand." Thank you, Lord, that YOU are in control!
