I am a happy Christian homeschooling wife, mother and grandmother trying my best to raise and educate my children and grandchild, teaching them to love God, eachother, nature and the world around them.
I also happen to be an exercise junkie, so you will find a fair share of exercise and workout reviews!
Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
Last week after a rain-shower one of my sons called me out to go look at a rainbow. He was so excited over that one rainbow, you can imagine his pleasure when just a bit later he saw a DOUBLE rainbow!! He was almost giddy with joy. I myself had never seen a double rainbow so shared the photo below on facebook:
Several people kept referring to the "Double Rainbow Guy" and I had no clue what they were talking about. My curiosity getting the best of me I googled it and came up with the following video clip:
This guy REALLY enjoyed that rainbow! At first it's easy to assume he's on drugs or something, but maybe, just maybe, he really, really enjoyed the rainbow and like my son was just giddy with excitement. We could all use a lesson from him and learn to find and experience such joy in the simple pleasures of life!
May God bless us with discomfort at easy answers, half-truths, and superficial relationships, so that we may live deep within our hearts.
May God bless us with anger at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people, so that we may work for justice, freedom and peace.
May God bless us with tears to shed for those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation and war, so that we may reach out our hands to comfort them and turn their pain into joy.
And may God bless us with enough foolishness to believe that we can make a difference in this world, so that we can do what others claim cannot be done.
If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
