I'm Grateful For... #5

Temples and Eternal Marriage... Both keeps my faith strong and propels me to do better each day.

Being Self Reliant & Love Dare Challenge- Day 20

Today, since it is the start of Spring Break, Charlie and I decided that it would be best to put our wallets on a break as well and live off of what we have in the house. Meaning, no TV, no electronic games, and no buying food that is not necessity. We prayed about it as a family and we listed off a menu amenable to all and the games we will play as a family.
We will lock up the TV's and the only time we will use the computer is for homeworks like mine and brief blogging of our updates.
We will start Tuesday morning and we will do this for 10 days. Monday, we will organize our pantry and kitchen to get an inventory and clean out "unnecessaries" or "garbage" so that we can get a handle on how much we wasted space, food and resources." Wish us luck! (I'm more worried to realize how much we have in the house, as our kids have the tendency to want the whole neighborhood to know, lol!)

Day 20

Love is Jesus Christ

"For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

Romans 5:6 KJV

DARE:
Dare to take God at His Word. Dare to trust Jesus Christ for salvation. Dare to pray, “Lord Jesus, I’m a sinner. But You have shown Your love for me by dying to forgive my sins, and You have proven Your power to save me from death by Your resurrection. Lord, change my heart, and save me by Your grace.”

What I Did:

We went to church today and the pattern of the talks were about counting your blessings and relying on the Lord Jesus Christ for strength and faith. I felt love and assurance that I can finish this Love Dare Challenge and make my marriage and family life better.

Some Sunday Solace

We all need to be reminded just how loved we are...

I WILL BE HERE
Steven Curtis Chapman
Tomorrow morning if you wakeup
And the sun does not appear
I will be here
If in the dark, we lose sight of love
Hold my hand, and have no fear
'Cause I will be here
I will be here
When you feel like being quiet
When you need to speak your mind
I will listen
And I will be here
When the laughter turns to cryin'
Through the winning, losing and trying
We'll be together
I will be here
Tomorrow morning, if you wake up
And the future is unclear
I will be here
Just as sure as seasons were made for change
Our lifetimes were made for these years
So I will be here
I will be here
And you can cry on my shoulder
When the mirror tells us we're older
I will hold you
And I will be here
To watch you grow in beauty
And tell you all the things you are to me
I will be here
I will be true to the promise
I have made
To you and to the
One who gave you to me
Tomorrow morning, if you wake up
And the sun does not appear
I will be here Oh, I will be here

Because we are... Every single day...
