I do not really know how to say what is on my mind right now. Greater still is what is on my mind, I am sort of drawing a blank, maybe writers block? Except I am not a writer! Therefore, be prepared for streams of run-on's, ramblings, and maybe some carriefied words!
Do you realize the HUGE impact you have on all those around you? Even if you think everyone looks you over I have news for you, they do not. Do you just look everyone over? Do you know how those little words that "just slip out" sound like coming from a toddlers mouth? Do you realize that one day, cute children will sin because they are born with Adam's nature?
Someone is watching you and learning from what you say, how you say it, what you do, and how you do it. They do not come up with all their "naughtinesses" on their own. Maybe some, but they are few, they might not all be from you, but are you giving them an occasion to freely observe actions that do not copy the Savior's?
I guess what I am trying to say is, how close is your living to Christ's? Would your actions convict you a follower of Him if you were to stand before a judge? Recently God has been reminding me to give it all up, all of my Isaac's, and not taking any part of them back.
I just wanted to share this with you. It may not impact you like it has impacted me but that is okay, we are all different. Yet, if it could have and I would not say anything, what benefit is it to the body of Christ? Lastly, are you living a life to glorify your Maker? Please stand with me, and help me, and pray for me, and I will do the same for you. God's blessings be upon you as you strive to walk closer to Him each day.
On the liter side of things, if God ever blesses you with multiples, enjoy EVERY facet of it. The songbooks taken out of shelves and strewn all over the floor, and you realize that that child is in the library, doing the same thing to those bookshelves, yet there is a different one, sitting on the steps, with some of those very songbooks singing her heart out! A few of the contents of the "slop-bucket" in a little one's hand, headed to the their mouth, yet a at a different time they were your "big helper!" by opening the cupboard door to give you that very bucket. The squeezing hugs one gives to another, bringing upset squeals from the receiver, yet how warm and delightful when squeezed upon your own neck. This is just a touch of what we get to enjoy, I have the feeling that God has blessed us far more than we can EVER comprehend. If you ever get to have a blessing like this and you know me and live close-ish to me, some of my siblings and I would be more than willing to come help!
Blessings! Carrie Lynn
