Today I am thankful for: school time with my kiddos, my nap, Josh being off today, Darrin having fun at tkd, being able to get our library books returned, David getting an interview with the senator, the joy Madi has playing with her animals.
As I read Proverbs 14 tonight I was highlighting bits of wisdom like crazy! Proverbs 14:1 "The wise woman builds her house, but the foolish pulls it down with her hands." Oh, Lord, let me seek Your wisdom and create a loving home where my family wants to be! I pray our family grows in faith, love, and wisdom and that we build up one another always and show kindness and love to all who enter. Proverbs 13:31 "He who oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker, but he who honors Him has mercy on the needy." This idea of caring for others has really been on my heart. I want to show love to those in need, and I want my family to show love as a whole; I want my children to understand how we've been blessed and choose to share blessing with those who have less. I've received lots of good ideas about how to foster this, and I want it to become something natural and close to our hearts. If we care but do not act, we might as well not care at all! I believe this is why tithing has become so important to me. I see what my family can do immediately to help others, but trusting our money to Crossroads lets God take our little and do much!
Oh Father, let Josh and I come to an agreement about how to handle the money that belongs to You! I want to be honest and faithful in our giving. I know this will be an amazing blessing for others as well as for us. Show us what is right; give us concrete figures to commit to. Thank you for your faithfulness to us!
