Howdy little darlin’s! I just wanted to share with ya’ll some of the things we’ve been talking about in church lately. I’ve been so overwhelmed with the sermons I felt the earnest desire to share some of them with you. God loves you more than you can imagine! YOU ARE SUCH A BLESSING!
“How deep the Father's love for us,
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss,
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the chosen One,
Bring many sons to glory
Behold the Man upon a cross,
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice,
Call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that left Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished
I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom.”

Who are we? Who do we belong to?
I’m the child of the living God. I am a Christ follower.
Romans 8:16, “The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.”
God has called us to live for Him right now.
But the devil wants us to forget who we are in Christ Jesus.
Are we thinking about ourselves and what we want or about eternity?
As wives and mothers with have the wonderful opportunity to influence an guide our family in the way of the Lord.

I am a sinner with out Christ I have nothing. I am nothing.

On my best day, I am nothing. I am a sinner separated from the righteousness of God.
