SOAR

I like Romans 12. 
A preacher a LONG time ago said, "Remember who you are and what you are about." 

Obey this chapter and SOAR.

Let love be without dissimulation
Abhor that which is evil
Cleave to that which is good
(this would mean to stop acting like you don't know the difference)
Be kindly affectioned one to another
Rejoicing in hope
(there is hope for all of us, if we are still alive and breathing, there IS hope)
Patient in tribulation
(yes YOU be patient)
Bless and curse not
(come back to earth Michele)
Rejoice with them that do rejoice
(this is usually pretty easy unless you struggle with jealousy)
Mind not high things
Be not wise in your own conceits
(just about the time I think I have things figured out....BOOM)
Recompense to no man evil for evil
Provide things honest in the sight of all men
(ALL men, HONEST, no matter what)
Avenge not yourselves
(you will make a mess of it and possibly make it worse)
Be not overcome of evil
but overcome evil with good.
There.  We are all back to earth now.
If we need to know God's will for our life, we can start here.


soar.

Don't Be Idle

This is Zephyr. She is the most discontent, unhappy cat I've ever seen in my life. She is selfish plain and simple. All she can think about is HER belly. This is not done in silence. When I get up (early), she's been up for hours wasting away. She's died of starvation 8 times. Don't be like Zephyr. The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment by Jeremiah Burroughs   "Who are the men who are most discontented?  but idle persons-- for they lie around and find fault with everything."   (page 50-51) Zephyr is an unhappy cat. Not a happy camper.   How about you? IDLE lazy, slothful, work-shy (ha ha) shiftless, inactive, sluggish (like a bad drain) without purpose DISCONTENT dissatisfaction with circumstances displeasure Have you no weeds to pull? No list to make or finish? No bread to bake? Nothing to mend or fix? No corner to clean? Nothing to learn? No letter to write? No project to fin...

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...
