Family happenings..

  
                 Stop and smell the flowers....

Summer is in full swing.. Alex, Sammy- are going in  every direction. Alex working rides at Hershey and Sammy security in the parking lot, then Sammy also working  a second job. They are constantly on the move. I rejoice that they are busy. 

Lazy, and procrastination has been an issue with my young men. They lay around the house, as if there is nothing to do if they dont have to go to work. Their rooms are a like a tornado hit it, their laundry is unattended and yet they act like they have all the time in the world. Needless to say it drives me crazy. 

How do you get young men to get out of a habit of procrastination and Laziness? 

What does the Word of God say about laziness?

Procrastination is a developed habit to delay whatever it is you are expected to do.

The Word has so much to say on Laziness

Proverbs 18:9
The one who is truly lazy in his work is brother to a vandal.

Proverbs 19:15
Laziness induces deep sleep and lazy person will go hungry

Proverbs 12:24 
The  diligent hand will rule, but laziness will lead to forced labor. 

Proverbs 6:6-11

In this verse it reminds us that we are to work diligently without being told, or directed, and that is we have a responsibility to meet our needs. 


Colossians 3:23

Whatever you do, do it enthusiastically, as something done for the Lord and  not for men.

we forget that we are to do all things for the sake of Christ. That as we obey, as we bless, and we work we do it to glorify CHRIST. 

Lord Guide us with your truth as we seek to break habits in our lives. 

Solo para Gloria de Dios

BFS #124 - The Easy Button

Assignment - This week I would like you to post any prayer requests you have. What is going on in your life that you need prayer warriors for? When this assignment came through I was going to share  prayer request for a much needed rental home, and new job for my beloved, but in a blink of an eye those things were no longer a concern. A truly serious, and sobering matter occurred. I was not sure how to share with all of you this matter- and how desperate I was. I was not sure how to even lift my eyes towards heaven for fear that he would not hear me, or not even want what I was wanting.  I was not sure I could handle a loss of my child. My baby- my eldest- He is 18 years old, 6 days ago he started to develop these sharp pains that would shoot to the back of his eyes. At first he described them as a headache, but he realized it was not headache, and started to complain more of the pain, and stated that pain relievers were not working. I made a doctors appointment. When the do...

Goodbye Facebook...Hello thoughts...

Well I did... I took the plunge and deactivated my facebook. It is amazing how much of a time consumer it is. It eats time like you would not believe. I am hoping, praying with this new found time, and lack of distraction that it will give me motivation to blog more. As my young men get older, move closer and closer in considering that step towards becoming one with someone.. I have come to realize there are so many resources out there pointed at men and what they need to do, or what they need to be as men to get married. The sad thing is there is hardly anything for young women. Today I challenge Paul to look at a questionaire done by Stacey and James McDonald( you can find it on Staceys  blog thesacredcalling.com)  that they put together for young suitors for their daughters. After reading it he came down so heavy hearted. Guess the realization of the spiritual, emotional and physical responsibilities of it all became very burdensome. Of course I shared how we could do noth...

Saying "I love you"...

Thinking about these words. These words that are to express our deepest emotions. These words that are to leave us vunerable and open, just do not seem to have the impact they use to. Many people use these words so fleeting. They use them as if to say "thank you", or "I thought about you today". For me "I love you" is not an easy thing to say. If I say I love you- I mean it from way down deep in my heart. They are not just words to be said but also words, that are to be put into action. Have you ever thought about that? When someone says "I love you", do they show through their actions that they love you?  or do they leave you going Huh, really? I have had those thoughts, wondering if the person who has declared their love really does love me because actions speak louder than words to me. I hear their words but then on the other hand see their actions and  they do not act like a person who even cares about my well being. Jesus never states in the...
