I was reading I Thessalonians 2 and this jumped out at me:<br /><br /><em>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. </em><br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Blessings!!Dawn Sodinihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02941123421016176620noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8537525816442041963.post-75281519482544873642009-08-03T07:51:00.000-07:002009-08-03T07:56:12.807-07:00Tiara...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhywt0ge40YoowMavmB2H97KQn-_BTLjbuAMOzNDrQYrfw8mqBBmIDvIRv0WsSurtVPvV8yzwxilYPZ-3aFoLwtAvVCnmlacF94P2sUh2G2H8rBuGLP0SHjLa_dGx3R7-r4DfgMRQdMLGfP/s1600-h/Tiara+2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 198px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365750752491960050" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhywt0ge40YoowMavmB2H97KQn-_BTLjbuAMOzNDrQYrfw8mqBBmIDvIRv0WsSurtVPvV8yzwxilYPZ-3aFoLwtAvVCnmlacF94P2sUh2G2H8rBuGLP0SHjLa_dGx3R7-r4DfgMRQdMLGfP/s320/Tiara+2.jpg" /></a><br /><div>As perfect as we thought Tiara was for us... we had to send her back.

You have taught us to go with our gut- not because it knows all but because it heard You and understood your course.

A rare event in itself these days. When I walked him to the door I noticed our neighbor across the street. Bless her heart she is a single mom of a teenager who has just inherited custody of her two young niece and nephew. They were headed to the car in a hurry as "Aunty" has to be at work. "Aunty" says, "Don't run!" The two year old little boy stops running and stands in the sidewalk. The four year old sister who is watching "Aunty" turns forward just in time to knock over little brother. "Aunty" says, "See I told you not to run." Lord, I pray deep breaths and a patient peaceful heart for my wonderful neighbor as she begins motherhood all over again.<br /><br />I know we all have hurry moments. But I am so blessed that I don't have to get my children up at the crack of dawn every morning and rush them out the door to spend the day with someone else. My heart broke and overflowed all at the same time this morning.<br /><br />Thank you Jesus for all of your many blessings. Children are a blessing from the Lord, now if in my hurried state I could just find the address for this scripture.

Oh yeah!We were enjoying dinner last night when Mia said "Mom, my tooth feels funny." I leaned over and checked and sure enough she has a loose tooth. A few minutes later I felt that I needed to check further. And there is not just one loose tooth but 2!!!<br /><br />So here's our quandry.<br /><br />While we look forward to celebrating this amazing milestone with her we don't want to go the "Tooth Fairy" route.
