Reflections for Thursday & Tech Nuggets

Family Stories>>>more
Devotion from RBC Ministries

Whenever I see an older person in their 70s and up I call them "libraries" because for me that is a wealth of information, wisdom. I am learning more and more how it is important to share wisdom and fun times with my grandchildren. When they come over it's their time to be "children". Sure the Mrs. and I give them chores but most of all it's really fun spending time with them. When spending time with them it takes me back to when I spent time with my grandmother and how she did not have much just her love, her attention toward me meant the world to me.

I have to admit not having any children of my own and coming into a blended family has at sometimes been a struggle but this year has been pretty good. Our Christmas get together went well, and Casey and I played the Wii (which I recommend every adult get one, loads of fun) but most important teaching him patience, showing that you care, and allowing him to see that you put God first always is the most important to me. I am learning and loving God's word more each day and I think another reason why my relationship with the grandchildren are much better. They see how much I love their grandmother(man that's sound really weird, but in a good way) and they know I go out of my way to respect, honor her.

Giving gifts is cool but showing respect for your elders and showing respect for the younger generation is more precious. Having these family stories are the true treasures for the very young and the very old.

Be Blessed, Be Safe,
& Have a Wonderful Thursday.

Devotion for Monday, October 2nd

Right with God>>>more
from Harvest Online

Three small words...very large impact. I thank the Lord each and everyday for touching me to begin a new day. I thank my wife for Christian Embassy Church and I thank our Pastor, Robert Griffin for his teaching of God's Word, making it simple and helping me truly know my Lord and Savior again. Knowing that God never left me, that I walked away from Him about 10-12 years and that He allowed me time on this earth to come back into His loving arms is truly an act of grace and mercy He had on my soul.

This devotion by Pastor Greg Laurie is very important because when you really think about it, God is not on our time table but when our time is up...it's up, period. I once heard someone say, "what if there is no God and you've lived this 'dull' and when you die that's it...you have wasted you time, don't you think?"

First and foremost, it's not a 'dull' life. Not by a long shot. I don't like going through trials, but it has drawn me closer to Him, when I'm having good days...it draws me closer to Him, thanking Him for blowing breath in my 'nostrils' everyday. When I read the mind of God (the Holy Bible...and isn't that awesome that we can know some of His thoughts?) And if I there's no God...knowing how I how I have tried to live for Him, I have not wasted anytime on this earth.

And know I throw the question back to the non-believers....but what if there is a God? What will you say to Him when you're standing (kneeling before Him?).

Have a great work day and work week everyone. :-)
