Summer

To those that check the blogs I know I have not been on for a long time. But as I am enjoying the last two weeks of summer holidays with my children I am realizing how I have enjoyed watching my children play. Summer has been great. Temperatures have been just right for me.
The sky was blue yesterday without a cloud in the sky. There is a slight breeze and I am seating under a birch tree in the shade watching my children play baseball. I look down the street and I am listening to other noise around me and all I hear and see are my children playing and enjoying the bright sunshine in about 29 degree hot weather. I wonder were are all the other children that should be outside playing and enjoying the summer. I know we have some elder neighbours but where are the children? Day care or off somewhere else? It is sad to know that mothers would rather work then be a Mom at home and enjoy their children. These children then have to be put into day care. Who is raising these children? The only reason why I am commenting on this is that I realized at the moment as I was watching my children that my children are the only children that are at home during the day and enjoying themselves being CHILDREN. Some of the play reminds me of my childhood years. May those mothers that are at home enjoy their children that are under 12 years old. They grow up all to fast and the years go by so quickly.

Missionaries Anniversary

Today is the anniversary day of the five missionary men that got killed in Ecuador. It has been 52 years. My thoughts and prayers are for the ladies that were married to these men. One of those ladies has been a real inspiration to me and that is Elizabeth Elliot. God worked in that situation and brought the men in that tribe to know Him as their personal Lord and saviour. How tragic of a situation, but bringing glory to God. May we remember that no matter what situation we are in and of those around us that don't know the Lord, that we need to reach those that are lost and need Jesus Christ in their lives.

Sweeter Than Honey

Happy New Year and I hope I can be here a little more often then what I have been.

In this new year I want to concentrate on God's word. What I can learn from God's word and how I can become more like Christ in my actions and attitude. My focus will be on on how sweet God's word can be and to use it as my diet. So many of us try to lose weight, but sometimes don't realize we need a diet with God's word. The Bible is food for the soul and for myself and maybe for others we need that food to grow in our walk with God. The Bible is sweet to those who love it. Learn it and live it. I have walked with the Lord for about 25 years maybe more and I have been richly blessed with His word and it has given me strength in trouble times and have had a joyful life in standing strong in what God's word has told me how to live. Jesus Christ has been my focus and salvation my whole life and I hope that those that don't know Christ will put their trust in Jesus Christ as their own personal saviour. May the New Year be a joyful and blessed year to all of those that read this.
