God Made Moms To Teach Their Children...Be Ye Doers of the Word
May people claim to be Christians or followers of God but do the opposite of His word. Teaching our children to take heed to what they have been taught as children in Christ, provides them the wisdom they need as adults to live free in Christ. 2 Timothy 2:15 reads “Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” Once we learn God word, our true hearts should compel us to do what His word says. Let's be doers of the word as children and adults, and not just hearers only.
Be blessed and encouraged today, it's your choice. ~ Delphine
1 Corinthians 1:18 -- For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
James 1:22 -- But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
2 Timothy 2:15 -- Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Proverbs 22:6 -- Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Good Read of the Month
Two kids with the same name, living in the same city. One grew up to be a Rhodes Scholar, decorated combat veteran, White House Fellow, and business leader. The other is serving a life sentence in prison for felony murder. Here is the story of two boys and the journey of a generation.
In December 2000, the Baltimore Sun ran a small piece about Wes Moore, a local student who had just received a Rhodes Scholarship. The same paper also ran a series of articles about four young men who had allegedly killed a police officer in a spectacularly botched armed robbery. The police were still hunting for two of the suspects who had gone on the lam, a pair of brothers. One was named Wes Moore.
Wes just couldn’t shake off the unsettling coincidence, or the inkling that the two shared much more than space in the same newspaper. After following the story of the robbery, the manhunt, and the trial to its conclusion, he wrote a letter to the other Wes, now a convicted murderer serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole. His letter tentatively asked the questions that had been haunting him: Who are you? How did this happen?

God Made Moms To Teach Their Children That....Rash Decisions Has Consequences
Talk about stressing then you are talking about me today. My oldest son has recently made some decisions that he is now suffering from. Decisions I warned him against but he had to have it his way. Now he's calling on me to help him out and I can't. I can't on principal alone. I can't because I want him to be held accountable. I can't because I want him to realize his mistakes. I can't because I want him to grow up. I can't because it's a big risk for me financially. I can't because I said I wouldn't. I can't because other parents have warned me I'll regret the decision later. I can't because it's something I know he can't afford or deserve. And finally, I can't because my husband is against it. But as a mother I want to help when I know I shouldn't. Because of all the can'ts all I can do is pray that God provides a way. A way that excludes me from getting in the way of my son becoming a responsible man.

Proverbs 1:8-9 Hear, my son, your father’s instruction, and forsake not your mother’s teaching, for they are a graceful garland for your head and pendants for your neck.
Psalms 103:13 As a father shows compassion to his children, so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him.
Proverbs 10:1 The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish son is a sorrow to his mother.
