February days are now gone and March has officially kicked in. I finally purchased a new monthly focus board. We ventured out for a day date which included a movie. I love our day dates. I will give my honest review about the movie for those interested. I wanted to see this movie as it was based on a true story. I did enjoy the movie but oh my, it was a tear jerker from the get go! It ended good but mercy! Let's just say that I am thankful that no one was sitting close enough to see my tear stained face. I am glad that I saw it but I am good for a while on sad movies, even if they do end good! My oldest daughter, her husband and their son participated in the Spartan race which is a series of obstacle courses that challenge. They done so well. As you can see from the pictures it gets pretty muddy! My three daughters participate each year in the Gate River Run. I love it that they do this together. They have so much support & encouragement from all the onlookers. I am just
Years ago when all my children were at home I became a part of this group at our church called, "When Mothers Pray" by Cheri Fuller. We met once a week and spent about one hour together (4) of us and prayed for our children. I done this for 3 years. Now I look back...all my daughters grown now...and I think to myself...I am so glad that I done that! Not that I've quit praying for my children...Mercy, we never quit praying for our children...I have about decided that the older they get the more we pray! I pray daily for my grandbabies as well. I pray not only for their safety, health, & wisdom but also that they will come to know Jesus at an early age.....for their future mates....for them to love the Lord with all their hearts, souls, and minds..... I so glad that through that time together as mom's, sisters in Christ and friends, that we learned the POWER of praying God's Word over our children. I was reminded recently of the words Cheri Fuller spoke in her book: "If we aren't praying for our kids...who is??????". Let our prayers never cease for our children and grandchildren! Be blessed and have yourself a great Monday!

Amen, sister Cindy! I so totally agree - prayer is the most important thing we can do. I have always been a praying mom and you're right - the praying never ceases for them. How wonderful you learned this at an early 'Mommy' stage in your life. Your children have been blessed through your prayers. Every time I talk to my grown married children, I tell them how I love them and that I am praying for them!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for popping in to see me.
be a sweetie,

Chris Rice sings...Mama Prays...I love this song! If you haven't already, then find it online and take a listen. It's from the album Short Term Memories
ReplyDeleteThis is so true, Cindy! I love this little reminder to pray for our children. It's a blessing for them and for us as well! I never feel that God is not listening to prayers for our precious kids!
ReplyDeleteAnd, I love your Foto Friday pics! Your grand kids are ADORABLE. I love their little smiles and their cute Easter dresses! Well done!
I wish we had a group like that in our church. Sometimes I gets so involved in cleaning, disciplining, and just being a mom I forget to pray for my kids. Thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteMiss Cindy, Thank you for sharing this! Amazing......God is so on the throne on this devotional. Angela
