Vision Forum Poll Troubles

This godly, Christian organization has handled the situation with the utmost care and and Christ-like attitude.  A few verses I found while doing devotions seemed very appropriate… 

First Peter 4:13-16 and verse 19

   “But rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy. If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.  On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified. But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a busybody in other people’s matters.  Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this matter… Therefore let those who suffer according to will  of God commit their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator.”

Happy Mothers Day!!!

   The past couple weeks have been very busy for our family.  Now that things are finally slowing down I am able to post…  Also there are many things I am wanting to post (like strawberry picking and conferences that we have gone to) and I will get to those one day ; )

   For now  I am going to post a big thank you to mothers everywhere, but most importantly to my mom and sister, who are amazing mothers!

A well known Bible passage that comes to my mind as I write this is Proverbs 31:10-31 (NKJV)

   ‘Who can find virtuous wife? For her price is far above rubies, the heart of her husband safely trusts her; so he will have no lack of gain. She does him good and not evil all the days of her life. She seeks wool and flax, and willingly works with her hands. She is like the merchant ships, she brings her food from afar. She also rises while it is yet night, and provides food for her household, and a portion for her maidservants. She considers a field and buys it; from her profits she plants a vineyard. She girds herself with strength, and strengthens her arms. She perceives that her merchandise is good, and her lamp does not go out by night. She stretches out her hand to the distaff, and her hand holds the spindle. She extends her hands to the poor, yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy. She is not afraid of snow for her household, for all her household is clothed with scarlet. She makes tapestry for herself; her clothing is fine linen and purple. Her husband is known in the gates, when he sits among the elders of the land. She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies sashes for the merchants. Strength and honor are her clothing; she shall rejoice in the time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and on her tongues is the law of kindness. She watches over the ways of her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: “many daughters have done well, but you excel them all.” Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, but a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised. Give her the fruit of her hands, and let her own works praise her in the gates.’

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!!
