A Mother's LoVe

Is intensely loud, long and strong because it comes from the depths of her heart and never departs. Why? For a Mother not only gives birth, cooks most of the meals and nourishes her son or daughter even after they leave the house ...

She also shares motherly advice that will benefit her children for the rest of their life's ... You can take what she says to the bank and by the end of the week, your interest rate will have doubled because its accurate, profound and hits the spot without leaving a mark ... This how a mother's family acknowledges her ...

Proverbs 31:28 ~ Her children stand and bless her. Her husband praises her.

Blessings,

Education, Then and NOW ...

My GEM and I tend to chat about how much the teens of the 50's and 60's had a greater desire to further their education. They'd stay home in order to do some serious studying; because failing a test wasn't an option. Now their weekends weren't wasted by going to unsupervised parties that evolved into drinking, drugs and engaging in sexual activities with guys or girls they just met ...

Obviously, times have changed for the worst because statics show that the dropout rate among high school students is at its peak right now. Fathers and mothers now a days are constantly tutoring more, yelling less and trying to advise their kids/teens to stop living for the moment and look to the future ...

Dads and kids, ponder this when you have a minute. God has made the Moms to be the cheerleaders of the family. Thus, let's work together like a team and  together you'll obtain the Victory ... This is why I offer this piece of advice ...

Titus 2:4 ~ That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,

BLESSINGS,

Don't Give UP!

We've heard it on the news, at the corner store and from our neighbors next door. What are we talking about? It's the way some teens tend to experiment with drugs, alcohol, skipping school, disobeying their parents rules and being precocious with every Tom, Harry or Annie that says hi.  It's as if they don't think about the risk they're taking ...

Nonetheless we suggest that you stop shaking your head from side to side because the Lord can transform that mess into a story for His Glory. All you have to do is jump into a serious to the bone Prayer mode .... You know something like this ...

1 John 5:14 ~ And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.

BLESSINGS,

Caught Off Guard,

Yesterday, Josue'(our second oldest son) caught me off guard with something he said and it nested in my mind for hours. His exact words were the following ... In order for a person to recognize the true meaning of the word Victory they must first experience defeat a few times in their life's ...

WOW ... That comment was so deep and profound in my opinion and I'll tell you why. You see Josue' is the type of individual that bear hugs the 3's ... He's serious, silent and smart ... Now when he opens his mouth it's because what he's about to pronounces comes from ABOVE. That's why the Lord told me to give him the nickname of Mr. Blessed ...

With this I'm going to conclude, in my book mistakes are defined as stepping stones to a better tomorrow ... That being said, think about this before you go to school, work or bed ...

Proverbs 24:16 ~ For the righteous falls seven times and rises again, but the but the wicked stumble in times of calamity.

Me TIME

Mothers, I just wanted to let all of you know that it isn't a CRIME to enjoy some Me TIME. In my case, this is where after a long and busy day I go to my favorite place, kick off my shoes, elevate my feet and grab a hold of my 2 thoughtful friends.This lovely couple named Mrs. Pen & Mr. Pad; so that they can accompany me on a writing journey ...

Maybe your thing isn't writing, reading or knitting; nonetheless there's something that relaxes you. Now, I don't have a clue what moves you; but I know you do. Whatever lowers your blood pressure, makes you smile when no else is around or regenerates your strengthens ... Do it and show your spouse, kids and in-laws too that your life is embracing the 3 H's: happier, healthier and always able to say Hallelujah in Jesus name. One final thought, the word of the Lord states this

Proverbs 16:3 ~ Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.

BLESSINGS,

2 People = 1 GoaL

Parents work 24/7, no time off and have a saying that's drilled into their hearts ... It goes like this ... No matter what our kids do we'll Pray for them, penalize them for their  wrongdoings and without a doubt never give up on them; because that's what Jesus Christ did  with us ... Deep right and also true too. Moving right along,  when it comes to taking family vacations the calculations are made with love and a few years in advance, this way when the kids go off  to college they'll take those touching  memories with them so they can share with their new friends ... 

As parents of 4 amusing sons we'd like to conclude with this ... Now obstacles may come and go but a parent's love during all of those moments only grows because the LORD has deposited into our hearts a bank vault full of love ... From the first day we find out  that we're pregnant, until the day they get married to their true love and everything in between we live by this golden rule ...

  

Proverbs 22:6  ~ Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.

Kitchen Patrol

Washing the dishes, cleaning up the mess that everyone else in the family left, while at the same time preparing the meals, setting the table and awaiting the return of  their spouse with a smile on their face and a kiss on their lips  ... These are the events that occur on a daily bases in most homes ...

Children ranging from all ages, yelling all over the place and teenagers voicing their opinions because they desire a new cell phone too ... While Mommy is mentally figuring out what bills to pay first and Daddy's clear across town, working long hours, receiving little pay and struggling to meet his family's needs ... This is what keeps Daddy's  heart beating  ...

All in all, the house is still isn't clean; but most Mommy's don't have enough time to read a few papers from their favorite book or even take a nap; because time isn't on their side ... Moms, when you have some free time please read this and you'll why your time was, is and will ALWAYS be appreciated ...

Proverbs 31:28 ~ Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also and he praises her:

BLESSINGS,
