Speak to me

Speak to me…

Just to document it right this moment it is perfectly quiet in my home…… sweet silence.

Pastor Jim has been preaching on the 10 commandments. One commandment a week, this week was Honor your father and mother. WOW did this take a BIG twist the sermon went on to explain how it was our responsibility to raise children that know how to follow this commandment (or really all of them).

This sermon was God speaking to me.

I’ve had a hard mom week.

I have wanted to give up

I’ve wanted to run.

I’ve wanted to give in.

This sermon reminded me that I cannot this is my responsibility that I have to choose my children; I need to put raising them in a God-ly manner first.

I need to be intentional.

INTENTIONAL with my children

With my relationships with them

The words I speak to them

My actions around them.

The pastor did mention seven ways to honor your parents…

Obedience

Assistance

Respect

Thanksgiving

Listening

Integrity

Love

IF I want my children to have these qualities I must also have them.

This morning there were tears lots of tears but God spoke to me and I was listening now to apply it to my life.

My goals this week….. less tv….

To run twice with SUMMER

To have a play date for MILLIE and bake a cake with her. (She loves to bake)

EMMETT is pretty easy right now but to have patience and cuddle him!!

Ill let you know how it goes
