Ephesians 6:7-9

Happy Friday morning!  I took the kids to the zoo yesterday and we were so tired afterwards!!  Today we are getting ready for our church Easter egg hunt tomorrow.  Probably going to dye some eggs, clean house, and play.  I go back to work on Tuesday and Wednesday next week so please pray for Thea and her sleeping:)  Have fun relaxing Ginny!

S - With good will render service as to the Lord and not to men.  Knowing that whatever good thing each one does this he will receive back from the Lord whether slave or free.  AnTHe give up d masters do the same things to them and give up threatening knowing that both their Master and yours is in heaven and there is no partiality with Him.

O - This goes back to what I said the other day.  What I do needs to be for him and not to please others.  Because I can't please everybody.  The only person I can honor is Christ.  Even better...there's "no partiality with HIM"  He loves me the same as he does everyone else and I don't have to compete with him so I shouldn't try to compete with others:)

A - The give up threatening part struck me.  I'm going to work on not threatening my kids with spankings or punishments (I'll still use punishments) but instead of threatening I need to talk to them more about why disobedience is not pleasing to God.  I don't want them growing up trying to please me or Ryan I want them to want to honor God.

P - Father help me with my attitude in punishing my kids.  Help me to direct them to you in everything we do.  Help me today to look to pleasing you and not competing with others.  Thank you for loving us all the same.
