while cooking tonight’s dinner it got me thinking about raising our kids and bible study … while making this cornbread, the ingredients were carefully measured out, mixed together, and placed into a willing vessel and tempered in an oven before then being added into a bowl of chili to never be seen, but, to forever change the chili in so many ways, taste, texture, even temperature and smell … now that got me thinking about raising our kids …. teaching them as much as we can during the limited time we have with these precious souls …. i’m blessed to be sharing with lil’bit and still getting to share with his mom and dad every day as we learn and grow together …. every day each of us has a chance to “tweak” our final product thanks to His eternal Grace and get a little better, stronger, and more loving as we continue to follow the recipe of Loving God, loving our neighbor, and, when we mess up, remembering that we’re supposed to Love God and love our neighbor … hope y’all have a WONDERFUL dinner !!!

Bible Verses

(just one today, but, please, try and sing it just like i’m thinking David would have) … Psalm 103 …

i can’t even begin to count how many different parts of me came from the folks that made me who i am … can you think of different parts of you that came from different special people in your life ??? (the way you smile, the way you laugh, the way you stand, the way you ___________?)

when you’re passing on to the next generation, what things do you want to make sure that they get from you ??? is it things that you’ll have to TELL them, or are they going to KNOW just by SEEING ???
