Helping parents bring kids up God's way
family nail-pullin' |
"So be careful how you act; these are difficult days. Don't be fools; be wise, make the most of every opportunity you have for doing good. Don't act thoughtlessly, but try to find out and do whatever the Lord wants you to do." (Ephesians 5:15-17 The Living Bible)
A few Saturdays ago, we had an old fashion nail-pullin' at the farm. Granddaddy had the grandboys pulling nails out of boards from an old dock, so they can build a new treehouse. He paid 'em a dollar per nail-free board. They made the most of the opportunity. Those little rascals (with some parental help) pulled nails from 100 boards!
While praying this morning for some folks I love going through hard times, the Lord reminded me that hard times are opportunities—opportunities for Him to work and for us to trust and obey.
In hard times, beloved? Make the most of the opportunity. Trust the Lord, find out what He wants you to do, and do it.

My friend, Eve, and her boys "Happy are the people whose God is the LORD!" (Psalm 144:15) |
Recently, my beloved friend, Eve, was talking to someone about God. She told them, "But I'm not gonna try to force this happiness I have on you."
Love it!
