Choices

We make them everyday....

They can come in many forms...

Good or Bad

Happy or Sad

Dull or Sparkly

Sweet or Salty

Black or White 

Soft or Hard

Hot or Cold
Spicy or Mild

We teach our children to make good choices, to do unto others as you would have them do to you, love others, be kind to one another, do the right thing, think how Jesus would handle the situation.  For me it is easy to bark these out to my kids.  I also have to make sure I am making good choices and setting the example for them.  

What is hard is when we have to make choices for them.  We want to do everything just perfect and not mess up mess them up...can I get an AMEN? Then I remember how good our God is and how He wants good things for His children.  I was comforted by these verse when I started to worry about a recent decision.  

My son, do not forget my teaching,
   but let your heart keep my commandments,
for length of days and years of life
   and peace they will add to you.

 Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you;

bind them around your neck;   

write them on the tablet of your heart.

So you will find favor and good success   

in the sight of God and man.

 Trust in the LORD with all your heart,

 and do not lean on your own understanding.

In all your ways acknowledge him, 

 and he will make straight your paths. 

Proverbs 3:1-6

Many are the plans in 

the mind of a man, 

but it is the purpose 

of the Lord that will stand.

Proverbs 19:21




Thank you Lord for giving us these promises that you have good plans for us, that if we truly seek and trust you then the outcome is always good.
