Deuteronomy 6 Can you change your family dynamic? Well God can!

 



 Good morning, my daughter stayed with my bride last night. I got my first real sleep in about 48 hours and feel like I can be the husband I need to be now, as our adult kids will all be returning home today. I am not going to sugarcoat this: Madeline was in a life-threatening situation and was in septic shock when I took her to the ER on Friday morning. But she was stable when I left last night, and is doing well and is out of ICU needs. I thank you for all the prayers. We have felt the power of our God, Jesus, the Christ, working through your prayers for us! Madeline will need many weeks of recovery, according to the doctors, unless God wants her healed sooner! But if not, she has great support from friends and family. We trust in God with all our strength, as Moses was instructing his people to do in Deuteronomy 6, for Today’s Daily Bible Challenge!

 Moses made it so crystal clear and easy to follow in this chapter. I think we could learn so much about how to live life with our families in this chapter. If only the family structure were still set up with fathers, sons, and grandfathers still involved! We have broken the family dynamic, and with it, we lost a lot of the traditions passed down from one generation to the next! Click the link below to listen for yourself and see if you might be able to mend some of the fences in your family tree to reconnect with your heritage. I know this is not always possible from an abuse victim’s perspective, but with God and prayer, all people can be saved and become a new life in Christ, dying to the old and becoming the new! Through that new creation, there can be great healing in families!

 Talk with you soon!

Revelation 3 Don't be luke warm!

         Good morning, it is the day so many long for, Saturday at last! For any of you in Israel and other parts of the world, Happy Sabbath to all of you. Although some will think it is untrue, my Sabbath is Sunday, I base this on Mark 2:27, but as my Sundays are filling with church work, I may start Saturday Sabbaths soon! If you are new here, welcome to The Daily Bible Challenge, where we are reading/listening to the whole Bible cover to cover. We aren’t doing this for foolish bragging rights but to learn more about God directly from God, instead of just gossip about God from others! Who knows if those have even read the Bible!     Today we are in the book of Revelation chapter 3. It has a lot to digest, but also has so many new questions for us to research. I will not be your teacher, God and your own heart will do that! I am more here to challenge, entice, and even beg you to read and dig in for yourself. After all, I believe ...

Judges 7 God dealing with the pride of man, through Gideon

Image
 Good morning, we have made it to Wednesday, and all is good! What an incredible God story we have in Today’s Daily Bible Challenge as we read/listen to Judges 7. I can only imagine what Gideon must have been feeling as God took away twenty-two thousand of his soldiers. God did this as Gideon was preparing for a battle in which he was already outnumbered by tens of thousands! But Gideon remained faithful, and then God took it from ten thousand to just three hundred! Would you have argued with God, or maybe even just fled for your life?  Are you wondering why God would have done this? In my youth, I wondered about it too! Through this life, I have struggled foolishly with pride for many years, but God has a way of humbling us! Many years ago, God humbled us in ways that shook our lives to the very core! Then, much later in life, God used a great program called Re/Generation to show me how I still struggled with pride and just how many of my sin patterns were originating out of ...

1st Kings 4 Promises kept, although slower that planned!

    Good morning, I hope this letter finds you and yours well. We are doing well here on The Little Hundred Acre Wood. With two hounds at my feet and a tiny cat in my lap, I write to all of you with great joy in my heart! It has been such a blessing to see this blog grow so much this past year, not for my gain but for God’s glory. Please humor me as I catch up on some details for long-time readers on our project list here on the homestead.   The pressure washing will start here on the house today, and the paint should start Monday if the weather holds up for us. Some of the siding got dirty as this project started over two years ago. (even under a real tarp, dirt crept in). A brother from church has asked to do the work, and he is very experienced with painting with the high-pressure spray type rig I am providing. I have to get another five-gallon pail of paint, a case of caulk, and the trim paint this weekend, and lots of protective covering material for the deck and sto...
