Good Teachings
Today at church my heart was burdened to be more consistent. With a child coming, this lesson seemed even more pressing. Deuteronomy 6:6-7 says this, "These commandments that I give you today are to be upon 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." How simple are these commands, yet so hard too. I desire to always be mindful of my relationship with the Lord. It is a powerful and life changing thing. I deeply desire for my future child to know Jesus and the great grace he bestows on us. While saying this I also know that I have a great book to refer to when raising my child, loving my husband, working, or alone. This book is what I need more of. Through this book I can listen to God. The news and the media seem to think that they are the answer to childrearing or loving one another....oh no, we have even greater answers through following Christs example. He is love. He is the only reason I will be a decent parent, wife, or friend. I want to be more thankful for that.
