Just a thought.........

Titus 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

It looks to me like it DOES matter what is on the outside.
It isn't just the heart.

Why would we want to boast that it is the heart that matters anyway?
Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

  1. Search me, O God, and know my heart today,
    Try me, O Savior, know my thoughts, I pray;
    See if there be some wicked way in me;
    Cleanse me from every sin, and set me free.
Ask the Lord to search your heart, so your outside will be acceptable.
Your works.
What others see.

Thanks for this thought. We were just talking with our 10 year old daughter last night about how God wants us to be "pretty" through and through. I shared with her that is important that we as Christian women should show a godly appearance on the outside. We must remember that we are representing Jesus in all that we do. I think that goes for what we look like on the outside.
I will add this verse in Titus to our study.
Thanks!

My Favorite Child

I wish I had all the pictures I wanted, to go with this blog post........because I know a *picture paints a thousand words*, but for a large part of our family's life, old fashion cameras and old fashion pictures were being used.  So, many of the pictures that would help paint this post are somewhere in boxes and books.  It would take a month of Sundays to find them all so  I will just have to count on your imagination and my memory! FAVORITE: most liked, preferred above all others Sara, you were my favorite.  You were our first baby and we were so excited for you.  Your hair was perfect for me to learn how to braid and you always were very still for me.  You were the first little girl I got to dress up and put lacy socks on.  You were such a fun little girl to read to.  You memorized the books we had and it was a big part of our day to read with each other.  *where is the bear when the wind blows cold?*.    You have alw...
