Thank you for setting such a Biblical example...

My morning Bible reading was especially sweet this morning. I was reading I Thessalonians 2 and this jumped out at me:

11For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children, 12encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory.

God had a 2-fold message for me this morning: 1) thankfulness for all of the people in my life who have done exactly this and 2) reminding me that this is how God wants me to treat other people in my life.

So I would like to thank a few of the people God brought to mind: Uncle Ray and Aunt Ruby, Pastors Mitzi and Lynne, the small group in Michigan, and of course our home fellowship group here in Mississippi.

Lord, please help me to follow your leading today and every day! Thank you for everything - even those things I don't understand. As I teach my children your ways are not ours and your plans are perfect - ours are flawed.

Blessings!!

Tiara...

As perfect as we thought Tiara was for us... we had to send her back. She attacked Saint. We miss her and our hearts are healing from her loss but we had to protect our family.

Please pray that she finds the perfect home and is healed of her thunderstorm anxiety. As another blog I read today says: Lord: You give and take away

You give and take away

My heart will choose to say Lord,

blessed be Your name
