Think

Last night, I was reading through a book on manners by Maralee McKee that I had received to review when I came across this acrostic. I knew that I wanted to create something to print out and put up in our home because I really liked it. I believe that it’s good to have visual reminders up around the house to help us fight the good fight. T – Is It True? H – Is It Helpful? I – Is It Inspirational? N – Is It Necessary? K – Is It Kind? In Philippians 4:8 we read: Finally, brothers, whatever is…

Up, Down, All Around

Posted in Christian Life, and Family

As you can probably tell from some of my posts this week, it’s been a rather crazy week. I’m not ready to write all about it yet as we’re still seeing what the Lord has in His plans for us. No matter what happens, we’ve decided that we’re going to praise the Lord – good or bad. We couldn’t let our emotions get the better of us which is often easier said than done. It’s funny because as I started to think about the crazy – super crazy – week that we’ve had I started to think about the past…

And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord. And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake: And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice. And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out,…

Thankful for Closed Doors

Posted in Christian Life, and Family

When I was younger, closed doors were more than a little frustrating. In fact, they could be, at times, just plain irritating. No, no… I’m not talking about physical closed doors, but rather those opportunities, dreams, plans, hopes that get shut down for whatever reason. You think you’re headed in one direction and the door slams in your face and leaves you feeling a bit lost and puzzled. Yep, those type of closed doors. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized that those closed doors are often blessings in disguise. Oh, it may not seem like it at the time, but…
