Beautiful May! The sun is shining. The birds are singing. The fields of crops are erupting into a verdant green, due to a much, needed, few days of rain.
My Cup of Fancy this morning is Green mountain Southern Pecan, with a vanilla scone.
Father, I love spending time in The Word with You. Reading, listening to You, and soaking in, all that You wish to teach me.
All three of my boys are football coaches. Let me tell Ya, Friends, Football Friday Nights are the highlights of the year. Training godly men, who give back to their communities, has always been the priorities of my sons; not to mention building a winning team!
Jesus built a winning team, with the 12 apostles. They helped Jesus to build His ministry, until tragedy struck.
All of the apostles ran at the arrest of Jesus. Peter denied Him hid, and wept bitterly.
Then came the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, and the world turned upside down. Pentecost followed shortly, and the apostles were filled with the courage of The Holy Spirit.
They experienced three years with their Rabbi; his crucifixion, resurrection, ascension, and the command to spread the good news.
All of the apostles were martyred, accept John. Yet they were all on the winning team.
In the Star Wars Saga, Princess Lea cried out,”OBIWAN KENOBI….YOU’RE MY ONLY HOPE.
JEUS AND THE SACRIFICE OF THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB…….is our only Hope. It’s simple. He who calls upon the Name of The Lord, shall be saved.
Jesus and His sacrifice for us, IS THE SOURCE of our salvation.
Romans 6:11/Romans 5:17 assures us that we are triumphant through, Jesus is “OUR SOURCE.”We are dead to sin, have a victorious DNA within us, and are on the winning team.
AS A PARENT..HOW DO I BUILD A WINNING TEAM?
First and foremost, parent!
*Have a two parent family: if possible. I’ve seen amazing parenting from single parents.
*Set down rules and guidelines. You’re a parent, not their best friend.
*Women! Stop having children by multiple men! Only God can fill those holes within your hearts. You are contributing to rearing a godless society.
*Place God above all things within your life.
*Get your children involved in Christian Youth camps.
*Join a church with a youth group.
*Teach them to read the Bible.
*Join a church and get involved within Christian Community activities.
*Get them busy OUTSIDE….and make sure that they hang with appropriate friends. Get your son or daughter appropriate mentors.
* Watch their cell phones and media contacts.
*Have their friends over…and know their families.
*Don’t tell me you live in the city and can’t do these things. Read the life story of Dr. Ben Carson…who was raised in the hood. Due to the acts of one parent, and his faith in Christ, he rose above. God can make a way, where there is no way.
I was blessed that I married a man of strong faith. Truly, he handled our boys, and taught them how to work.
I have twin grandsons. Each morning before they are out the door, it’s prayers and Bible Study with Dad.
ONLY YOU …can decide if you’re going to parent.
ONLY YOU …..can build a winning team.
Be still, and know that your ABBA, is God.
MAY THE “SOURCE,” BE WITH YOU.
Praise You, Father, for blessing me this day.
Psalm 9:10 Those who know your name will trust in you, for you Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.
2 Cor. 2:14 Now thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of his knowledge in every way.
Psalm 95:1-2 Come let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.. Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song.
