Hi friends! I have another memory verse printable coloring page for you! You can see them all here. You can ask your kids (or adults!) a few questions about this verse: What’s required of us to become children of God? (receive Him/believe on His name–remember that the faith to do this is a gift as Ephesians 2:8-9 tells us) What is the gift that we get from God? What does it mean that you get the right to become...
I generally avoid Proverbs 31 and its ideal woman, do you? It conjurs up feelings of deficiency: No, I don’t wake up early–not willingly. My children don’t yet rise up and call me blessed (tired and frustrated maybe). I don’t sew very often. I don’t run a thriving business. I like to stay up late, but usually not to work.

1 John 4:18: “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.”I am still thinking on 1 John 4 (see this previous post on fear) and listening to the No Longer Slaves song (have you sung it yet?).

No cars were coming but I relived that scene over later, thinking of the big truck that may...

You know how you read God’s Word, but it doesn’t really sink in? You’re thinking, I know this is really profound, but it just isn’t changing my life right now. What am I doing wrong?
