Let’s Hear It For the Boys

Today, I’m linking up with The MOB Society (Mothers of Boys).  As a mom with three boys, I certainly qualify!  In our home, I’m a bit out numbered and try to stand my ground and impart a little bit of the more tender side – kindness, compassion, thoughtfulness etc. in small doses of course! 

But often the only thing boys understand is action!  Our area was hit by Tropical Storm Debby and there is a lot of water around here. Many in our town have lost homes and belongings and our prayers are continually with them.  Our area has not seen such devastation for which we are thankful.

While a neighbor and I ventured out for a quick walk, our sons came roaring up on four-wheelers and offered to take us for a ride…through the mud to check things out.  Throwing my girly caution to the wind and taking advantage of some quality time with my middle son…off we went!

    That was an adventure! Does this mean you didn't get to go to camp?

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We

Word Filled Wednesday – Act Justly

He has shown you, O man, what is good;       And what does the LORD require of you                But to do justly, To love mercy,       And to walk humbly with your God?    Micah 6:8 Sometimes we struggle so hard with the question “What does God want us to do and be?”  This verse is a simple yet powerful reminder of some simple things that God requires of us.  Act and do justly, love mercy and walk humbly before God.  There are numerous opportunities each day to do justly, to do the right thing or to make the right choice.  We love mercy when we show kindness or mercy oftentimes to those who do not deserve it.  Walking humbly before God is acknowledging He alone is God.  He is the I AM – no one else is.  When we give Him the glory He is worthy of, it will humble our heart before Him.  Obeying God doesn’t have to be unattainable or impossible, but can be a joyful, beautiful journey as we go by step and follow Him.
