Honoring...

Last night at the bible study I go to we were learning about honoring our mom. We hear a lot about obeying them, but not enough about honoring them. They are special dont forget it. Here is a little story that I thought you all would enjoy!
A 14 year old boy walked into the kitchen where his mom was making supper. He slapped down a piece of paper on the counter and sat down at the table. When his mother finished her work she went over and picked it up. This is what it read:

What I did: Amount owed:
Mowed the lawn: $10
Did the dishes: $ 5
Cleaned my room: $ 7.50
Vacuumed the carpet: $ 5
Cleaned the Garage: $ 10
Total Amount due: $37:50


The mother finished reading it aand then picked up a pencil and started writing. She finished and set it back down on the counter. The boy curious, rose and picked it up. Here is what it said:

What I did: Amount owed:
Gave birth to you: Free of charge
Changed your smelly Diapers: Free of charge
Potty trained you: Free of charge
Fed you: Free of charge
Taught you how to read: Free of charge
Much, much more Free of charge
Total Amount due: $0.00

The boy quickly pulled out his pen and turning the paper over scratched out the bill and wrote: PAID IN FULL

Then he turned to his mother, gave her a hug and whispered “I love you”

Don't forget to tell your mom how much you love her! ( It can apply to your father as wel!)

Prayers!!

I have to admit that I have been really discouraged this past few days, and would really appreciate your prayers. I haven't been able to have a really good devotional time, and I see how that can make a difference. But I must lean on the Lord to help me back up again. It's amazing how you can easily know what to do, but how hard it is to do it. So if you could pray that I would again be experiencing that outrageous contagious joy!
I know the effect a praying teen can have on the lives of others! So pray for me as often as you think of me!

Thankful Heart!

Thanksgivings coming up and I am realizing all the blessings God has given me! I am so grateful for a godly family, a great church/youth group/Pastor. And i am so thankful that God is forgiving because I don't know where I would be right now if he weren't

Psalm 37:7

My life verse is Psalm 37:7-
Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
