TAKING OUR BLESSINGS FOR GRANTED I really think it’s true that the more you have the more you take for granted. I was recently talking to my daughter about a family she knows with several kids and they invited a couple of these children for a play date. They noticed that the sole of one of the children’s shoes was coming apart, like barely hanging on. When they asked if she wanted to go change shoes, she replied “I don’t…

TRUST FOR THE FUTURE 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

He will not fail you or forsake you until all the work for the service of the temple of the LORD is finished. 1 Chronicles 28:20 What is the greatest legacy a parent can pass along to their children?

PRAYING THE SCRIPTURES I don’t know about you, but when I pray I sometimes wonder if what I’m praying for or about is in alignment with God’s will. One way to have more confidence that my prayer is in agreement with God’s will is to pray scripture over the situation. I learned a long time ago that there is always perfect alignment among God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. God the Son (Jesus) is referred…
