I've been a little absent this week Taking the kiddos to Six Flags. helping my sister and brother-in-law move, the usual running around...
1 Timothy 5: 4-5
...their first responsibility is to show godliness at home and repay their parents by taking care of them. This is something that pleases GOD very much.
I had a very emotional conversation with my mama this week. She is one of the strongest, most faithful daughters of GOD I have ever known. Her testimony over the last 10-15 years is incredible. With every step, every decision, every hurtle, every triumph she has looked to HIM first.
My parents need my help right now. She called, broken and worried about what the next few months would bring, asking me to pray. Absolutely. I felt HIM telling me there was something more. I asked if I could do more to help.
I will be honest. There is a selfish, worldly part of me that said, "No! You have a wedding to pay for!" By HIS grace, I belong to HIM and HE is stronger than my worldly self. I wanted to do more. It is an honor to do more.
Today, I thankful that what I can do not only pleases HIM but helps my family as well. I am thankful that we have been blessed in abundance so I can give help where help is needed. I am thankful that we can still meet our own needs as well. I am honored to be able to show "godliness at home."
HE is faithful. HE is good. HE is true.
