WORD TO THE MOTHERS

Mothers, God knows you need a break. He knows you need help. He knows how much you can take. He knows the depths of your need and exactly what you feel. He has not left you alone to fend for yourself. Come to Him and let Him carry your load. Listen to His counsel, be humble, be bold. Accept His invitation to draw near. Let Him hold you awhile. Be still. Let your heart melt in His presence. His love is real. His arms are strong. He never gets tired of being near you or hearing what’s going on.

You need a little ‘pick me up’ or a little extra boost? Come to the fountain and be renewed. Does it seem you never have enough time to accomplish all you would like to in a day? Start your day out with prayer, do things God’s way. Every hour you have the power to listen and obey, to be selfless, be thankful, and pray about everything. What your children see in you they will one day live out. So what is your life telling them about? Are you a victim or are you victorious!? Are you selfish or a servant? Do they hear you give thanks or often complain? God will teach you and train you and enable you to change a lot. If you will just take the time to acknowledge Him in all you do, and lift His name up.

ADDRESS POSTAGE NECESSARY

As the days go by there is much that needs to be addressed. Until some things are addressed they are unable to be carried on or moved anywhere, because its destination has been left undetermined or unidentified. Once a matter is addressed postage is necessary to deliver the package or mail the letter. Postage is money. What does it cost you to deliver the message that God has written on your heart?

We can be confident that Jesus Himself paid the greatest price of all...His blood.

TREASURES



Through the lives of my nephews and nieces I have received more messages from the Lord than I can write down. My desperation for God is so much more than I could possibly confess. Somehow I think that children are our reminders, messages, and examples of instruction and mercy we have been given. Whether we decide to listen and learn is up to us. I treasure listening to their little voices, their words that are healing, and their consistenant request to "COME HERE," come over, come get me, or come home. Speaks clearly to me that if I will draw near to God and spend time with Him I will begin to see just how much He longs to be close to me. I want to show my nephews and nieces so much and tell them what's in my heart, but the only way that is going to happen is if they spend time with me, talk to me when I call, or read my letters when I write to them.

"IN HIS PRESENCE IS THE FULLNESS OF JOY AND PLEASURES FOREVER MORE."

When I am going for a walk and one of these precious treasures are holding my hand, or I have been gone barely five minutes and they still run to meet me as if I had been gone for months (and sometimes I am). When they give me a hug, or we are sitting in the dirt somewhere sharing our thoughts or maybe singing a song... such joy fills my heart for the true riches of the Kingdom of God are right in front of me. They are answers to my prayers, proof that "God remembers," He is a "Mighty Warrior." He has given us His "Field" and "God is the Lord" and we are His "Royal" children. (nephews and nieces name meanings are between the " ")

Matthew 18:3
"And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven."
