“Well, since we have a new puppy in the house..as well there is a learning of patience and having lots of it..Amen..because they do not get it right off..it takes time and lots of love, nurture..correction and consistency..Amen..but as I have been trying my best to be patient..sometimes it is hard..because we want them to get it quickly all of these things they can and cannot do..Amen..but as I said they don’t get it automatically all of these lessons..and learnings..but sooner or later they do get it..and when they do it is wonderful for everyone..for them..for you and for your home..Amen..but all the while I keep thinking about us and at how the same goes with us..we don’t get it sometimes that fast..all of the things that we should be doing..and at all of those things we shouldn’t be doing..so it takes patience and loads of it..Amen..and I’m so glad that the Lord is patient with us..2 Peter 3:9..He doesn’t give up on us..He just continues and daily so teaching us and loving us through all of the messes we make..through all of those bad decisions and choices..God still every single day gives us mercy..gives us His love..compassion..and offers His forgiveness..and how wonderful that is..Praise Jesus..so in the end we do get it..we do better..we make better choices and decisions..and just as with doggy training in your home..and at how your home gets better..for everyone..the same goes with us..when we get it..and when we grow and learn in Jesus..it gets better for us..for others and our homes in which we live..both spiritually speaking and physically speaking..for I can say that learning and growing is a forever thing in all of our lives..we always seem to face something that grows and challenges us to rise up higher with Jesus..and well, I thought I was pretty good with patience..but since having a puppy all over I can say I need to work on that again..Amen..so wherever you are today in your life..just know that God is teaching you and growing you in Him..that everything we are going through is for our good..even though we may not understand it all or even why..just know that we will understand it later on in this life..for we need growth..we need corrected..and we need to learn and daily so..how to be better than the person in whom we were yesterday..for there is so much that we don’t even know yet..and daily there is always something we can learn..and in the end as I said it’s better for everyone including that home in which you live..for it tells us in the word of God..that wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding..Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honor, when thou dost embrace her..she shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee..Proverbs 4:7-9..Amen..for when we don’t learn and we don’t accept correction then we continue to do the same things..that’s why many fall back to their old habits and ways..because they never grow..and they never keep pursuing the things of the Lord for them and their lives..for you see if we don’t know or better yet we choose not to learn..then we stay the same..and we don’t want to stay the same..we want to grow and be better and do better for Jesus..so let us help ourselves by listening and accepting the correction from the Lord when it comes..for when He corrects that is only because He loves us so..for He knows what’s best for us..Hebrews 12:6/Proverbs 3:12..so daily let us have patience with us..and let us learn to have patience with others..as we are obeying the voice of the Lord for our lives..for it is in Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
