One Big Happy Family
"And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?" (Matthew 21:16)
"Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. "(Psalm 8:2)
The following letter was written by one of our family members, a-10-year-old young lady. It is a wonderful picture of revelation in writing of God's love to us and through us for our family members. This letter is being shared with the permission of this precious, lady author and her immediate family members. To God be the glory! Great things He hath done!
"Being with Grandma and Grandpa Nance, daddy and mommy, Aunt Leslee and Uncle Dustin, Nikia and Abbi, and of course, Lexi and Hayden. Has taught me that no matter how much they bother you, there still your family, and theyll live with you for the rest of your life. You can never forget them.
It has shown me that at the end of the day, were all still standing strong because we know that your love is as wonderful as your gift to us in the sprit.
As life goes on, it goes on to show that good things will come to you if you never complain about the way your life is, because no one is perfect but God.
When God gives you a chance, you should take it, no question about it. If you say no, you are giving up your chance to live your life the way you want to.
God will show you the way through any weather and any time of the day if you will let him walk through the door of your heart . Just believe.
The lord is your strength, and he is your life and sacrifice. The lord is your shepherd and the father of your life. God loves you for who you are.
Jesus is the one that sacrificed himself for us when he was hanging on the cross. It feels good to know that someone is always going to be there for me. All of this just goes to show us that if Jesus could sacrifice himself for us, we can sacrifice our time to spend with our family, and give them our love.
No one can love your family the way you can. If you dont spend enough time with your family now, you may never get the chance again.
So take your chance when you have the chance to. Not at the last minute, because when the time comes youll never get the opportunity like it again.
Your family is your life, and you don't want to lose them because they all know what it feels like to have to deal with the consequences that come with a family.
In John 3:16 it says, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life".
That verse is one of my favorites because it shows that God loves each and every one of us, not just a few of the good people.
God forgives everyone, you should too. No matter what they did, forgive!
Were all one big happy family!
Love,
P.S. I hope you get the message that I had for you in this story. I love you!" |
