God Made Moms To Teach Their Children....That Life Is Poetry In Motion.
All our actions can be described in words. Words can describe things that are positive and words can describe things that are negative. We can choose to show love or we can choose to show hatred. When others speak of us they will use words that describe our personalities, our behaviors, and our actions, the words they choose to use will describe what we are and who we are based on what they've experienced. What words will be used to describe you, what words will be used in your poem. Leave room enough for words that only can describe someone who is positive and encouraging. Words powerful enough to touch and encourage whomever is writing the words, reading the words or hearing the words. Remember our lives are poems, we are poetry in motion. Let's bless someone with our poems.
Be blessed and encouraged today, it's your choice. ~ Delphine

God Made Moms To Teach Their Children....That Delayed Answers Are Not Always Denials.
Ladies, have you ever asked or prayed for something but didn't get what you requested when you wanted it? We've all been there and I have learned that nothing good will God withhold from you and that He is always on time. God's timing is not always our timing. Sometimes HIS delayed answers are delayed for good reasons. HE does everything for our good. We must keep the faith and wait on God and what is for our good. It's very similar to when we tell our children to let us think about their requests for a new toy, new shoes or if they are older if they can go out on weekend or stay at a friend's overnight. Just like we consider the request(s), our Father is considering our request(s). If it is good for us, HE will surely grant it. HE sees and knows all, HE is OMNIPOTENT (ALIMIGHTY;Having virtually unlimited authority or influence), surely he knows what is best because we don't always know. We can't see past our wants or desires but just like we do what is good or even best for our children, nothing good will God withhold from us. Ladies, I needed this encouragement today and some times we have to encourage ourselves to wait on God's answer(s).
Be blessed and encouraged today, it's your choice. ~ Delphine

God Made Moms To Teach Their Children....To Honor Their Parents.
One of the commandments I was taught at a young age. I heard it in Sunday School and I heard it at home. The teaching of honoring your parents in my parent's home usually came in the form of a "tongue lashing" stating the most obvious reasons why children should be obedient. The benefits of being obedient meant you would be a child who was free of whippings and free from being yelled at. Now that I am a parent, I thank God for my parent wanting me to know that it is a good thing to honor your parents. I'm now teaching that same commandment to my children, to honor your parents, but not in the way I was taught to honor my parents. I'm not saying my children don't receive whippings or get yelled at, I'm saying that I'm teaching them that honoring means choosing to do what is right. My concept of honoring your parents means doing what is right. I have learned that not all parents do or say what is right. Some parents don't even know what right is. I would be lying if I said, I always do or say what is right because I am still discovering what right is. From what I have learned in life thus far, I want to do what is right. I also want to honor my parents by teaching my children, their grandchildren to honor God, them and me by doing what is right. What is right in God's eyes and ultimately what is right for them and anyone else involved in the choices they make. Even if their choices do not look right in my eyes, I'm believing that they know it's right in God's eyes because that's what's most important. Ladies, I am praying and believing that God's spirit will lead my children down the path of righteous, even if previous choices have lead them down another path, they should always know there is still a path of righteous to return to. Children making the choice to do what is right in God's eyes, brings honor to parents and brings a long life to them.
All kids grow up so let us start praying now that they make the decisions that bring honor to God and parents alike.
Be blessed and encouraged, it's your choice. ~ Delphine
