Careful what we say

There was a young wife, mom of 20 month old, and a step mom to a twelve year old in my office yesterday, while working on some things for her we were having some casually conversation and she was talking about their experience with a new church that they had visited last Sunday and she said a lady came up to her after the service and said " you know we have another service for you and the children". This young mom immediately made up her mind well we will find a another church for next week. She said I am sure that she did not want it to come across or sound the way that it did. She then went on to sayto herself that we will just go somewhere else.


The point is we need to be careful how and what we say. Because that one simple statement made that mom feel unwelcome and she said that she would not go back. Everyone needs a place to worship no matter how young or old. This precious little girl can not go to church with out her Mom and her mom with out her.


This family also needs your prayers she is going through some hard times and things are starting slowly but surely to make a change. The thing is she has and keeps on pushing even when she is push down or backwards each time. She just needs our prayers that she will continue to have the strength to continue this and that she will continue to see what God is doing for her and her family.

"Eating -Jesus"

Well we had the Church Easter Egg hunt for the kids this past Saturday. All went well and we all had a good time. The kids rushed off to find the eggs that the men folk were so gracious to hide. Some of our children are experts at this and some it was there first time. After they found the eggs and went back to get the few they had left. My little doodle bug and her friend were sitting on the ground with their basket full of eggs and they wanted to know if they could eat one of there real eggs, and of course they could what would be more fun than that. So my little doodle bug turns around to were all the grown folks were standing and said "I am going to eat Jesus-- we all laughed but when she finished her statement between the laughing of the adults -- she said "I am going to eat Jesus so he will be in my heart."

I guess we need to be careful of what we see and say, because I see now that even an egg that has been died colors for Easter that has the word Jesus on it can be a witnessing tool. Just goes to show that our children are listening and learning, and still have that wonderful imagination of different ways to get Jesus in their lives.
