'Tis The Season...

for graduations!! We have two graduation parties to attend this Saturday. Actually three, because one is a combined party. I'm so excited!! It is such an exciting time for graduates. God has so much planned for them that they don't even know about. Here are a few of my favorite scripture verses that I would like to share with them(and all of you!):

" Delight thyself also in the Lord, and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Committ they way unto the Lord; and He shall bring it to pass." ~Psalm 37:4-5~

" Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." ~Proverbs 3:5-6~

" To everything there is a season , and a time to every purpose under the heaven." ~Ecclesiastes 3:1~

Happy Graduation!!

Christ Must Be Center

This is taken from a small book called "Secrets of Happy Home Life", written by J. R. Miller in the late nineteenth century. I have been challenged by his words and hope, if the Lord wills, to establish a home such as this with someone who has Christ as the center of his life.

"What are some of the secrets of happy home life? The answer might be given in one word-Christ. Christ at the marriage altar; Christ on the bridal journey; Christ when the new home is set up; Christ when the baby is born; Christ when a child dies; Christ in the pinching times; Christ in the times of plenty; Christ in the nursery, in the kitchen, in the parlor; Christ in the toil and in the rest; Christ along all the years; Christ when the wedded pair walk toward the sunset gates; Christ the sad hour when farewells are spoken and one goes before and the other stays, bearing the unshared grief. Christ is the secret of happy home life."

Proverbs 31:10

" Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies."

There are becoming fewer and fewer virtuous women in this country and in the world. Young women don't care any more about being chaste, modest, pure, discrete, etc. It is my desire to be the opposite of these young women and to be what God wants me to be-virtuous. For her price is far above rubies. Think about that for a minute. Young women of virtue are more valuable than a precious stone? Wow!! I want to be called virtuous. Will you join me?
