With this year comes new things. I will be adding new posts under the subtitle of “Feeling It Friday”. These weekly posts will be of videos that place me in the mind or mood of praise and worship. A way to jumpstart a weekend of praise. I hope you are blessed by the selections because the majority of the songs I post, have truly blessed me and brought me to His alter of praise.
Be blessed this weekend, it’s a choice. ~ Delphine

God Made Moms To Teach Their Children…You Have A Bright Future
It seems that every week my children’s aspirations and career goals for their adult lives change. Just when I get use to the idea of being a parent of a future traveling veterinarian, he decides he wants to be a game show host. I have also heard from one that he is going to be a Nigerian soccer player and the President of the United States...imagine that. It is truly wonderful hearing their dreams, even though they may change by the day. Listening and questioning their plans allows me to spread my wings and dream with them. As a praying parent, it also triggers certain prayers for them. I pray over their minds and their hearts desires. I pray God’s full covering over them. I start by pleading the blood of Jesus over them and I encourage them by saying, “ You can do all thing through Christ who strengthens you” or by saying “ You have bright future ahead of you”. I never want to be the one standing in the way of their dreams. I want to be the one helping them to reach their dreams by doing my part as their parent.

Philippians 4:13 -- I can do all things through Christ[a] who strengthens me. (NKJV)
Habakkuk 2:2 -- And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. (KJV)
1 Timothy 4:12 -- Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.
Matthew 19:14 -- Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

One For the Kids
A contemplation of the future through the lens of a family's past. An African-American girl looking to the future has a broad range of relatives to emulate—a banjo-playing mailman, a housewife who broke the color barrier, a pool shark, and a burger-flipping aspiring jazzman. Nelson's rhythmic and colloquial first-person narrative introduces the characters not only in terms of the jobs they hold, but also the kind of people they are; her Great-Grandpap believes, "Nothin's more important than family." For the jazzman, "what matters is the trying." Qualls's mixed-media illustrations combine muted and bright elements and feature full-spread renditions of each relative at home or work, followed by a page showing surreal floating heads of the girl and the featured role model as she repeats the title's query. Nelson shows respect for all the ways people live and work.

God Made Moms to Teach Their Kids…The Importance of Reading and Listening
How do we as parents expect our kids to show growth or progress in school when we don’t enforce reading outside the classroom? How do we expect them to learn more when we don’t re-enforce listening to their elders or others? And how do we expect them to get ahead when we don’t encourage them to ask questions to things they don’t understand or know? So how can we as Christians parents expect our children to grow in their relationship with God when they don’t read their bibles because they don’t enjoy reading? And how can we as Christians expect them to sit through weekly church services or listen to sermons when they haven’t been taught to listen for understanding? Some good questions to ask ourselves as parents and some good habits to implement for our growth as well as our children.

2 Timothy 2:15 “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” (KJV)
James 1:19 “Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:” (KJV)
Psalm 119 “The opening of thy words giveth light; It giveth understanding unto the simple.” (AMSV)
Luke 11:9 “And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.” (NLTV)

Good Read of The Month
Robyn O’Brien is not the most likely candidate for an antiestablishment crusade. A Houston native from a conservative family, this MBA and married mother of four was not someone who gave much thought to misguided government agencies and chemicals in our food—until the day her youngest daughter had a violent allergic reaction to eggs, and everything changed. The Unhealthy Truth is both the story of how one brave woman chose to take on the system and a call to action that shows how each of us can do our part and keep our own families safe.
O’Brien turns to accredited research conducted in Europe that confirms the toxicity of America’s food supply, and traces the relationship between Big Food and Big Money that has ensured that the United States is one of the only developed countries in the world to allow hidden toxins in our food—toxins that can be blamed for the alarming recent increases in allergies, ADHD, cancer, and asthma among our children. Featuring recipes and an action plan for weaning your family off dangerous chemicals one step at a time The Unhealthy Truth is a must-read for every parent—and for every concerned citizen—in America today.
