We are a large extended family:-) My wife and I have been mightily blessed with 7 kids, (five boys and two girls, all now adults), and precious grandchildren.
These children will know thy ways, ways of Love and Joy, please,
teach me Lord, show me the way.
This our Master has done, I am thankful beyond words, one thing always stays the same, His Love of all, His Grace beyond measure, "His forgiveness of our sins yet we ask". The more this world gets upside down we realize He has (and always will) stayed the same.
:but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
Joshua 24:15
In our home, this is what we strive for as a family.
"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is Light". Ma. 11: 28-30.
Our Father gave each and all Free Will, by this same grace He gave all who would "be in Him" free choice. We, as His children strive to minister, praise and bear witness to all who will stop a moment to partake of and listen of His saving grace. Inturn, we are ministerd to by others being taught His word and how to "live in His word"
We ask that you who read this try and understand what is "given" unto thee,"Free Will", "choice". Free will,two small yet mighty words meaning "to choose". If walking upon one path they hold such love, joy and promise you shall be blessed beyound fullness without question. Upon walking a different path there may be heartache, unfulfilment and sorrow, all due to "choice".
A verse NOT takin out of context within the Word:
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ
According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love. Ephesians 1: 3-4
"before the foundation of the world"
