I try to follow Him

We are blessed! And, when I say that, I am not just saying that. I know how much GOD has given us, more than I could ever think, dream, or imagine. We are blessed with good health, a good house, a good life. We have love and kindness and compassion and caring in our home. Yes, we also have our disputes and disturbances and disruptions but they are far outweighed by the blessings.

I look back on my life and wonder why GOD has been so good to me and to us. I can tell you that I don't deserve it any more than anyone else. But, GOD has determined, by His great love for us, that we don't deserve it any less. We try to be good stewards of that which GOD provides. We try to make good use of His many blessings. And, He has always rewarded our efforts.

Today's word is a reminder to me that GOD expects me to do my part. 1 Timothy 5:8, NIV, reads, "Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever."

GOD tells us that we are to provide for our families. One of His commandments is to "Honor your Father and Mother." We are to take care of those in our families, especially those in our own household. Trish, Blake, and Olivia are my great blessings, and my first earthly priority. I am to take care of them, provide for them, protect them. It isn't just my duty and obligation - it is my privilege and blessing.

GOD only knows how my kids are going to turn out. I pray every day that they will listen to His calling and answer. I pray that they will find good examples to follow and that they will see that His way is THE WAY. I pray that they will be able to see His love through me. I pray that I set a good example and that they will see that I try to follow Him.

Be Blessed,
