Encouraging Word Wednesday: Week 14

So my brothers are playing baseball.  It isn't too bad because I love baseball, but sometimes it's hard to enjoy it when it's wet, cold, and raining.  But I've found that if I focus on them instead of myself, I enjoy it A LOT more!  This week's Encouraging Word is this: When you're unselfish, you'll enjoy others interests and focus more on them than you focus on yourself.

Funny Friday: Week 13

Here's a few funny things I found:)  Hope they make you laugh!

Encouraging Word Wednesday: Week 13

It feels like forever since last week!  I hope you had a happy Easter and were reminded about what we celebrate on that special day.  Today I just want to remind you to live for Christ.  After all, we just celebrated the day he rose again from the dead after dying in our place and taking all our sins upon his shoulders.  I think he deserves all the praise, honor, and glory that we can give him today...and forever after!

Encouraging Word Wednesday: Week 12

If you follow God's plan and listen to his instruction, you will find it's easier to love people and do what He wants.  Too often we get caught up in our own selfish desires to serve God or others.  This is just a reminder to put Him first and not yourself.  Because if He wants you to do something, He will give you the tools and the knowledge to get it done!  He's got everything under control.

Memories

So today we went out to feed our steers and I stopped by the gate that leads into the yard.  Then I remembered our two Australian Shepherds, Sophie and Bear.  I got all teary eyed for a minute then I thought, God takes things away from us for reasons sometimes we can't understand.  I still don't know why God took Sophie and Bear from us, but I have a pretty good idea.  Maybe he took them so that we would see Him in our grief.  So that we could rely upon Him when things got hard and not rely upon ourselves.  If there's one thing I'm certain of, it's that God always has a plan.  Confusing?  Sometimes, yes.  But it's always the best for us and for His glory.  So as I remember Sophie and Bear, I tell myself that they were really God's.  He took them when He wanted to take them and He did it at that point in our lives because it was all a part of His perfect plan.
