“I can say that we all have been born into sin..Amen..and they say and I can really attest to this that no one has to teach someone how to lie..how to sin..or misbehave..Amen..somehow we all know immediately how to do those things in life..it just comes to us..but learning to live the right way..that we must be taught..Amen..because doing the right thing in life is always right..Amen..being deceitful..lying..not being kind..that seems to be the easy stuff for some..I know that when Anthony was little..Erik and I seemed at times to sound like a broken record..it seemed as if we were just seemingly saying the same things over and over to him..correcting over little things tremendously..teaching the right things constantly..and at times every day we would as I said seemingly felt like a broken record..but I tell parents all the while don’t grow weary in teaching your child the right things to do in their lives..Galatians 6:9..Amen..teach them the importance of the little things..because the little things mean so much..but never stop correcting them..because even if you may think they’re not listening to you..or it doesn’t really matter..I can testify to you all that yes it most certainly does matter and matters greatly..because they hear you as they get older..and they will follow your voice and the teaching that you gave to them..Amen!”

“But I think about adults as well..and it seems that even adults need to go back to the practical measures of learning the basics all over again..because for some..they seem to not know how to do the right thing..and for some they are dishonest..not trustworthy..they are deceitful..mean and pretty much excuse my language..downright ugly..but as adults..children follow us and what we do..and the whole part and the whole thing is this..God our Father is always speaking to us..John 10:27-28..correcting us and teaching us the right ways to live and do our lives..Hebrews 12:6/Proverbs 3:12..Amen..and I hope and pray that we all are receiving that correction from our Father..if we don’t learn to listen and to be obedient and faithful over the so-called small or little things..we will never reach the fullness that God has for us..because you see once again..and I use this phrase frequently..and that is that it isn’t about what others see of you and I..but it is ‘ALL’ about the Lord and what He knows of you and I..Amen..so let us live right in our lives..let us walk in obedience..let us follow the rules..let us speak truth and not lies..let us do good always..and to everyone..let us love all and not merely few..and let us model Christ and who He is to us and our lives..knowing that we will eat the good of the land..Isaiah 1:19-20..Amen..we will live our best lives ever..for once again doing right is always right..there is no in-between..so live to please that audience of one which is Jesus Christ our Lord..and let us always lead our lives by example..always doing the best we can with what we have..being thankful and being obedient..for it is in His name, 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 ❤️
