A God Promise To Parents & Grand Parents

The Lord, your God, will circumcise your heart 
and the hearts of  of your descendants.
God does this so that you will love the LORD your God
with ALL your heart & ALL your soul, and
HE does this so you WILL live.
Deuteronomy 30:6

For me, one of my core priorities, has been for our children (now our grandchildren as well) to really be in love with the LORD. (Children for TLOML and me includes our bio children's spouses.)  When I was MUCH younger, I use to wonder if I truly fulfilled the commandment to Love GOD completely, and then one day GOD brought me to a couple of verses that turned my thinking around. I will mention only one in the blog today.

(Deuteronomy 30:6) was one of those verses that caused my 180 swivel:  Like a light coming on in my spirit, GOD taught me the power of holding tight to HIS promises, especially this one.  And with this promise I have trusted GOD whole heartily to transform TLOML & me (And our children) to become authentic lovers of the Creator. Notice we did NOT make this happen. We surrendered to the Creator who makes us new creations (2 Cor. 5:17). Now the other generations are in my prayer sites and God promise grabbing spiritual hands.

What amazes me is that, in doing this, TLOML and I went places we might not have wanted to go.  We faced some real hardships; however, it was worth it to see the generations make our faith their faith.  And it was a blessing to see our love for Jesus become their love for Jesus.  And what is really amazing is to watch the spiritual intuition of our grands as they develop a God hunger in their souls and spirits. Our most recent grandchild (still in Mom) is all ready under the influence of this promise and prayer.  I cannot wait to see what God is gonna do in and through this little man as he journeys through life:o)

So, here is the BIG question:  Whatcha gonna do with this news?  Whatcha gonna do with this GLORIOUS God promise? Whatcha gonna do with this opportunity given you?  I hope you will grab this promise by faith.  And I hope you will pray for the love of GOD and the love for GOD to be created in the generations to follow --> YOUR children and YOUR grandchildren and any future generations the ALMIGHTY may create.  AND I hope....

You will be blessed 2 day... Especially 2 day.

Stepping Stones For Victorious Christ Centered Living #20 Shake A Little Salt

  The Challenge of Having An Unsavory Life. We live in a world where a whole lot of people are suffering:  Many struggle spiritually. Others,  because of their spiritual issue, have emotional struggles. Still others have relationships that are strained. Financial issues also may be added into the mix; additionally, physical challenges,  or health challenges, are a part of this. Mix a little high pace, and rarely slowing down in life, and you can see something is really going on impacting life in a negative way. In other words  all of these, plus any number of other things experienced in the 21st century, contribute to people experiencing unsavory lives. Jesus Speaking to You and M e Jesus has something to say about this. And He wants each of us to help out by, first beginning to embrace our identity. He wants us "become" so we match our identity, and if we don't, we really miss out and mess up.  Check out what He says, as He expressly tells us who we are. A...

Stepping Stones For Victorious Christ Centered Living #1 Therefore, anyone who hears the words of mine-- and puts them into practice -- is like a wise man who built his house on a rock: The rain came down, the streams rose, the winds blew, and beat against the house; yet, it did not fall, because it had its foundation on THE ROCK! BUT Everyone who hears these words of mine, and does NOT put them into practice, is like a foolish man who built his house on sand: The rain came down, the streams rose, the winds blew, and beat against the house. And IT FELL WITH A GREAT CRASH! Jesus (Matthew 7:24-27 S T O R M S Storms seem to come into everyone's life. Some experience more, and others experience less; however, the winds of adversity do, indeed, come. Some even howl like a Category-5  hurricane that beats relentlessly on the shores of people's lives. Dear Christ Follower, some of you know precisely what I am saying. And I am here to tell you Jesus provides us with Stepping Stones fo...

2024 Let God Help Make Your Life Beautiful

Ready or Not Here It Comes Leap year is upon us. Yep! We get to have one extra day on the calendar of 2024. And as the new year opens up before our very eyes, whatever we bring into this year -- good, bad, happy or sad -- will be a part of the fabric of this new year. For some of us this will be challenging. Why? Because some are really struggling with what is going on in our culture. Many are having to grapple with spiritual, emotional, relational, financial and/or physical struggles. And just because people are saying "HAPPY NEW YEAR" these challenges are still very real. So, how are we to get ready for this if the new year, in focus, appears anything but happy? But Remember -- God I have learned that when life meets us head on, it is important to think of all these challenges, but remember God:  As Christ Followers, you and I are not in this journey alone, and as the ancient wisdom of Ecclesiastes 3:11a teaches, "God makes ALL things beautiful in it's time." ...
