Choices of Life

A few days ago I talked about our job never ends as parents. That we need to continue to pray without ceasing. The Bible tells us that. I do not know if everyone feels this way. But I am honest enough to say I would like to throw the towel in as a parent. But believe me I never could do that. But there are times that I feel that the things I taught my girls (some) not all of them. Ever sunk in. I was waken this morning by one of my daughter's . Being distraught over a situation and she wanted me to talk to someone about it. And I told her she needed to make the phone call. Now whether or not she does or not it is up to her. Then my youngest daughter brought her son out here last night. And he is staying till Sunday sometime. And she forgot to bring his car seat. So he did not get to go with his Aunt GIGI's to play with the kids. So I just wonder where I went wrong. There was a saying I have heard all my life. Life is what you make of it. And you know that is very true. It 's the choices we make in our life.

Choices:

1. Listen to our Parents.
2. Serve the Lord.(I know some people think that should be 1. but when they are 2 years old your trying to teach them the right ways in life. And tell them about the Lord. Then they choose to accept the Lord or not.)
3. Line their life up with the Lord. Make the right choices. Would Jesus agree with my decision.
4. Choose the right mate in life. Does he have the same desire I do. For a family and to serve the Lord.
5.Have children, bring them up with values and choices and Serving the Lord.
6.Serve the Lord, pay tithes, give alms and serve the poor.
7.And pray for our families. Now I am sure some are not in the right order. But the jest of it is the way we need to live.

I tried to listen to my Mom. I was a good child she will tell you that. But have I always made the right choices. No, I have not. I made wrong choices raising my kids. And then later on in life I made a bad choice. But Thank God he has forgiven me. I love the Lord so much, that sometimes it is overwhelming. He has so much, but yet it is so hard to take it all in at times. I am not sure anyone will understand what I am saying. But I pray that you do.
I am going to leave you with this little tune.

Thank you Lord for your blessings on me. I got a roof up above and a good place to sleep. There's room on my table and shoes on my feet. You gave me your love Lord such a fine family. Thank You Lord for your blessings on me.
God bless have a good day.
