"You are as much serving God in looking after your own children, and training them up in God's fear, and minding the house, and making your household a church for God, as you would be if you had been called to lead an army to battle for the Lord of hosts."
~Charles Spurgeon

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ATE!

Happy Birthday to my big sister, Te! Or as most of you call her, Chanette. Growing up my sister and I weren't really "friends". We loved each other as sisters would, but we didn't have that friendship sisters might have, being so close together in age. Until the Lord saved us. Now my sister is one of my closest friends. We can hang out and talk about non-sense things or sit down and share about what the Lord has been doing in our lives. I've seen my sister grow in so many ways. She's an encouragement not just to me and my family but so many families around the world. Love you, Te!

Gotta love sisterly love! Sweet of you to post about your Te.

Psalm 116: 1-9

I love the LORD, for he heard my voice;
he heard my cry for mercy.

Because he turned his ear to me,
I will call on him as long as I live.

The cords of death entangled me,
the anguish of the grave came upon me;
I was overcome by trouble and sorrow.

Then I called on the name of the LORD :
"O LORD, save me!"

The LORD is gracious and righteous;
our God is full of compassion.

The LORD protects the simplehearted;
when I was in great need, he saved me.

Be at rest once more, O my soul,
for the LORD has been good to you.

For you, O LORD, have delivered my soul from death,
my eyes from tears,
my feet from stumbling,

that I may walk before the LORD
in the land of the living.
