Thanksgiving is tomorrow and for some it causes us to reflect. Every day we are supposed to be thankful, to thank God for all He’s done for us and given.

What Is Most Important?
I am a Christian, a wife, a mother, a sister, a daughter, a friend, a member of my church and of the body of Christ.
Each of these roles comes with specific duties, expectations, responsibilities. Each varying slightly or hugely from the other.
As a wife, I have certain responsibilities: the upkeep of the house; respecting, encouraging and supporting my husband; submitting to his authority; praying faithfully for him. As a mom, I–with my husband–am responsible to teach everything to my children; to use every opportunity to share the Gospel; to let them see who Jesus is through me (yikes!); to encourage and love them as Christ loves me; to pray for them. As a member of the body of Christ, I am to serve obediently and willingly in whatever way God calls me. As a friend, sister and daughter, I am to uplift and encourage them; to be a godly influence; to pray for them. As a Christian, I am to stand apart from the world; to be a light in the darkness; to proclaim the Gospel to the world; to pray for our Nation and its leaders. As an individual: my health, my walk with God, my wants and needs, my talents, my time, my social contacts, my monies, they all must align with the Word of God.

So what is most important? Continue reading “What Is Most Important?”
Looking Past The Election
Many are pleased with Trump as our future president. Others are dissatisfied and some are even angry (as demonstrated by the riots and social media outbursts).
I am not writing this to place guilt or shame on whether you voted for or against him. But he has been elected and that means we have to move on. I urge you to look beyond it. Look beyond our next president. Let’s glance past this mark in history and consider our future, our eternity.
Because our eternity is of the utmost importance. Continue reading “Looking Past The Election”
