Although not a current picture, this is a great one! <br />
Family is so important. Sadly, most people are too busy making money, running from activity to activity, to spend quality time loving those that God has blessed us with.<br />
Remember , those in our home may not always be there. Don't take them for granted.<br />
Blessings,<br />

<br /><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif;">Yes, I enjoy Hallmark movies. They are decent and usually have a good story line; they always end happy! Some are too silly for me but many are not. Last week, I watched<b> A</b> <b>Family for Christmas</b>. It was about a career woman who was a successful newscaster. She lived in San Francisco in a gorgeous apartment overlooking the Bay. She received a promotion from a highly recognized news station in New York. She immediately took it with great excitement. However, before she got this job, she had a Facebook friend request come to her from an old boyfriend and it got her to thinking.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif;">About this time, she met a guy dressed up as Santa Claus ringing the bell at the red bucket. {I'm not sure why Hallmark centers most of their Christmas movies around Santa Claus since those who watch them are mostly women!} She shared with him a bit about her life. He told her to make a Christmas wish. She went to bed that night and woke up the next morning in a house in the suburbs married to her old boyfriend with two children. She finds out she's a stay-at-home mother who deeply loves her husband {everyone told her she did any ways}. Of course, she was scared to death in this role at first and found Santa. He told her that she will stay in this situation until she <i>"figured it out."</i> She had no idea what this meant.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif;">After a while, she began loving her life. She grew to love her two daughters and her husband. One night, they were all at a party and a newscaster who had previously been her secretary was sharing news on camera. Suddenly, the newscaster was hit by something falling, so this mother had to take the mic. She did a great job and was offered a prestigious job in the city which would mean her family would have to move to the city. She came home and excitedly told her husband. He unhappily replied, <i>"I thought we were happy doing what we are doing!" </i>He liked having his wife home full-time. She finally decided not to take the job since she loved her life the way it was so much.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif;">The next morning, she woke up back in her bed alone in San Francisco. She frantically looked for Santa and told him that she loved that life. She wanted to go back. He told her she couldn't and she was so upset with him. Why did he take her from a life that she learned to love so much more? He responded, <i>"You can't change your past but you can change your future." </i>She quit her job, got a hold of her old boyfriend and it ended with them going out to coffee together arm in arm.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif;">How many of you regret your past and your decisions? Did you put a career ahead of marriage and motherhood? Were you a disobedient wife to your husband, thus causing him misery? Did you divorce your husband and now know it was wrong? Did you have a career while putting your children in preschool to be taken care of by others? There is nothing we can do about the past but we can change the future. We can begin walking in the ways of the Lord. We can become submissive help meets to our husbands. We can work on coming home full-time and being a keeper at home. We can become the mother our children need. It's not too late. With God all things are possible. Therefore, stop regretting your past and start right now to obey the Lord's will for you in every area of your life.</span><br /><span style="font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif;"><b><i><span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but </span><span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">this</span><span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;"> one thing </span><span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">I do</span><span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before.</span></i></b></span><br /><span style="font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif;"><span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">Philippians 3:13</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Many Christians still believe they are under the Law. I am going to try to convince you that we are NOT under the Law and are freed from it in Christ. The Law was given to the Jewish nation; God's chosen people. It was to point out their sin and their need for a Savior. It was very strict and the judgments for breaking the Law were severe; included stoning for various sins. Every year, the Jews had to sacrifice animals for <b><i>"without the shedding of blood their was NO forgiveness."</i></b> This is why they built the temple and had a place to worship and sacrifice; for payment of their sins.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Jesus came to earth as a Jew. He walked in a time when those He was teaching were living under the Law. During His time on earth, He clearly showed the people how impossible it was to satisfy all of the requirements of the Law and how we all need a Savior. He exposed the heart of the law on the Sermon on the Mount to show that no one has a heart completely incapable of keeping the Law, but one true Messiah, the Son of God come in the flesh to deliver us from the curse of the law. Yet He continued to live under the requirements of the Law since He was perfect and the only one who could obey it perfectly. He never had to sacrifice for His sins since He NEVER sinned. He was the ultimate sacrificial Lamb, the Promised One, who died and paid the penalty for our sin by shedding His own blood on the cross. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The New Covenant {parts of Acts, Romans to Revelations} was written specifically for Christians and the church age we are presently living in. God's purpose was to first show His holiness in all of the areas one is to please Him under the law, for He is completely holy. But this was just part of his plan for mankind. His ultimate purpose was to do away with the wooden law of letters written on tablets and ordinances and replace it with a new law written on the hearts and minds of His newly adopted children. For we were once strangers and aliens to the family of God and under the curse of the law, yet Christ on the cross fulfilled the law so that you and I, who are <b><i>"in Christ Jesus"</i></b> can no longer be seen as constantly disobedient people, but instead cherished and loved children of God. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><i>"But this is the covenant which I will make with house of Israel after those days," declared the Lord, "I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people" </i></b>{Jeremiah 31:33}.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">If you have somehow missed this important part of His-Story and are failing to see our God no longer as an angry God who is keeping score of your dos and don'ts, then you have missed out on the beautiful story of what God is doing in history. God is going about redeeming mankind, not so that we can be obedient because<i> "we have to,"</i> but to be obedient from the heart because we love him so much and want to please our heavenly Father. God wants a relationship with us, not to be our judge and jury, but to be intimately entwined with our lives as we share an eternal relationship with us. If perfect love casts out fear, than we have nothing to fear from a Father who would love us so much as to give us His only Son. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">When He died, He died to the Law, thus we die to the Law the moment we believe in Him. When He rose again, He made all those who believe in Him new creatures in Christ. The Law was a taskmaster whose purpose was to lead us to Christ. Christ's final words on the cross were </span><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>"It is finished!" </i></b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">He completely fulfilled the Law and paid the penalty for all sin, thus conquered sin and death; He brought in a New Covenant of grace for all those who believe upon Him. Thus, we are NOT under the Law!</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Please study the verses I am going to give you to back up all I just wrote! I also want to tell you not to try to put me back under the Law as the entire book of Galatians was written for the sole purpose of rebuking those who were trying to put others back under the Law.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Send children to college through planning for the funds to do so. If we don't have the funds, go into debt.

Begin making jokes and counting down the years/months/days until they are</span><i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"off to college"</i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> and out of our lives.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Society seems to not bat an eye at any of these pursuits and accomplishments that make an adult valid, worthwhile and successful. Being busy and overwhelmed by these life <i>"necessities"</i> is honorable. When a career woman mentions she is stressed because of deadlines at work, and striving for the above mentioned societal expectations, she's given kudos for being able to do it all, for being so successful, and for being so involved in raising her children right. When a young mama confides to a friend at church she's stressed because there are no mentors, no true models of godly mothering left for her, and because she's overwhelmed by negativity regarding her high calling, she's laughed at and told to deal with it; she is lucky she gets to be home. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">When a young mother is struggling to understand how to put into action what she knows is true and right, she may find herself isolated, even in church and family, among a sea of women telling her that she is less-than for being at home; for wanting the simple; combined with waves of societal reinforcement that if we don't <i>"have to work" </i>the result is we are home, disheveled in sweat pants, and living in a messy and chaotic home; making hamburger helper. Why would we be interested in doing anything more?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">Therefore, it does begin with pride; thinking we are wise and know better than God. God warns about riches since when all of our needs are abundantly met, we no longer rely upon the Lord to meet them and we don't thank Him for all that we have but instead think it is only from our hard work. After we heap up stuff, we become idle with too much time on our hands and begin to get in trouble by slowly compromising with the world and its ways. We forget about the poor and needy and hoard everything to ourselves. Lastly, we give in to every type of abomination and participate in wickedness, becoming seekers of pleasure rather than seekers of God.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">How do we prevent this from happening to us when we see our nation falling into the same sins as Sodom and Gomorrah? We dwell on the lovely and the good. We let the Word of God dwell in us richly being transformed by the renewing of our mind with God's Truth and NOT the lies of the world. We walk with the wise. We are thankful and generous; sharing our money, time and talents with the needy. This is a life that is pleasing to the Lord and His grace upon us makes it possible to walk in the Spirit becoming servants to righteousness instead of walking in the flesh and servants to sin.</span></span></div>

I've been given a lot of scraps of material and I've been busy sewing baby quilts. I'm quite surprised at how much I can accomplish just sitting at the table while the boys are doing their school work. I can be there if they need me, and also sew a few stitches in between making lunch or throwing in the next load of clothes.<br />

The Christianity of the last thirty or so years in America – or forty – that we’ve sent to the world is a consumeristic, “God is my cosmic vending machine; Jesus is my personal trainer/self-help guru,” and the whole goal of the Christian life is, “Am I happy? Am I fulfilled? Do I have a great marriage? Have I found the right person? Do my kids all turn out right? Are we upwardly mobile? You know, am I healthy, wealthy, and everything going my way?” </div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #465059; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
And if not, “Jesus, You’re not coming through for me. When did You forget that I, this narcissistic, consumeristic Christian, have taken Your Word and made all of it about me, and You’re supposed to make me happy, and healthy, and wealthy, and wise, and wonderful, and, someday, all my kids around the Thanksgiving table, singing “Kumbaya,” and everything turns out right, I never have a problem, tragedy never happens, cancer never happens, and if I really believe, then everything goes my way.” And we’ve been exporting that stuff around the world.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #465059; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
I’ve got news for you: If He gives you a rich, deep marriage, if He gives you health, if He prospers your business, if your kids grow up and love God – all those are really wonderful, wonderful byproducts. But I will tell you, Christians living like Christians are the acid test of whether God sent His Son.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #465059; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
There is one Spirit, there is one hope, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father over all – “one,” “one,” “one,” “one,” “one,” “one,” “one,” “all,” “all,” “all.” And how we live or don’t live says to the world, “God is really God; Jesus is the Savior.” And when we don’t live like Christians, your happiness, and my happiness, and our fulfillment is very secondary.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #465059; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
He’s the Creator; it’s about Him. He has an agenda, and we sign up to say, “How can I serve You, O Lord and Master and Creator, who is worthy of glory and honor and power, for You have created all things? And by You, all things have created, and in and by You, they have their being.” And we are finite, little people, in this teeny, teeny thing called “time,” and time will go away, and it will be all eternity, and we will worship a living God in a new heaven and a new earth. And what we do now matters for that, and forever. And He calls us to live those kinds of lives. Chip Ingram</div>

These little dresses are for an orphanage. It was so fun to get to make them and know that some little girls will have something pretty to wear.<br />

We've spent several days raking leaves and cleaning out the gutters. I really enjoy this time of year, even if we do have a lot of leaves to rake.<br />

Twenty-six years. It doesn't seem possible that Erika could be that old! Although it doesn't seem just like yesterday, I still have memories of her birth, raising her as a little girl, teaching her "mommy" skills, doing school with her each day, and watching her play with her brothers. It has been a joy to raise her and see her mature into a young married wife and mother. I love you.<br />
Mom<br />

Our neighbor called Larry before Christmas and asked him if we would like this television. My initial reaction was "NO!", because I know it will require discipline for each member of the family to not aimlessly turn it on and be "entertained".<br />
With guidelines in place, it has become an enjoyment rather than a burden.<br />
Blessing to you,<br />
