Making Your Family’s Joy Your Goal

✻

Today, make your family’s joy your greatest goal. Make your sister smile.
Help your brother laugh. Let your mother rest. Make your father proud.
Really try! Set hourly goals in your head and strive to fulfill them.
Only Jesus can help you accomplish this though.You can do nothing on your own.
Ask Him to be a shinning example and light through you. Good luck!

And I’m in Your arms
Where I belong
There’s no other place for me
Than right where You are

A Peace the World Cannot Give

✻

Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27 I hope you find His peace today. =)

The Choice

✻

It’s 2 or 3 o’clock in the afternoon and the breakfast dishes still aren’t done, there is a load of laundry in the washer from yesterday, the kids are in the bath crying, and daddy will be home expecting a nice dinner soon. You sigh to yourself and look in the mirror. A lop-sided ponytail and tired eyes look back at you. You have a choice. Hold a grudge against the house, your kids, your..
