Come, O children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
What man is there who desires life and loves many days, that he may see good?
Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit. Turn away from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.
Psalm 34:11-14
So go ahead. Eat your food with joy, and drink your wine with a happy heart, for God approves of this! Wear fine clothes, with a splash of cologne! Live happily with the woman you love through all the meaningless days of life that God has given you under the sun.
-Ecclesiastes 9:7-9
I am thankful for Sundays that inspire conversations and thoughts on God and bringing glory to His name. I am thankful for Sundays that remind us that we are fallen creatures in need of grace and redemption. I wanted to post a little something inspired from what we talked about in Sunday School.
Sometimes songs convey more than just regular talk. Here is a great music video and lyrics.
Slow Fade by Casting Crowns
Be careful little eyes what you see
It's the second glance that ties your hands as darkness pulls the strings
Be careful little feet where you go
For it's the little feet behind you that are sure to follow
It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day
It's a slow fade, it's a slow fade
Be careful little ears what you hear
When flattery leads to compromise, the end is always near
Be careful little lips what you say
For empty words and promises lead broken hearts astray
It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day
The journey from your mind to your hands
Is shorter than you're thinking
Be careful if you think you stand
You just might be sinking
It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day
Daddies never crumble in a day
Families never crumble in a day
Oh be careful little eyes what see
Oh be careful little eyes what you see
For the Father up above is looking down in love
Oh be careful little eyes what you see
So I am going for a new look. I did not realize my strength for as I was cleaning my glasses this morning they broke right down the middle. But a little masking tape solved my problem. But do these glasses make me look fat? I figured if I was going to take a picture of me with my new look I better include three cute little faces to improve the picture.
Poverty is so hard to see
When it’s only on your tv
and twenty miles across town
Where we’re all living so good
That we moved out of Jesus’ neighborhood
Where he’s hungry and not feeling so good
From going through our trash He says,
more than just your cash and coin
I want your time, I want your voice
I want the things you just can’t give me
So what must we do Here in the west
we want to follow you
We speak the language and we keep all the rules
Even a few we made up
Come on and follow me
But sell your house, sell your suv
Sell your stocks, sell your security
And give it to the poor
What is this, hey what’s the deal
I don’t sleep around and i don’t steal
I want the things you just can’t give me
Because what you do to the least of these
My brother’s, you have done it to me
Because I want the things you just can’t give me
For the members of our Supreme Court, that as we observe the anniversary of the legalization of abortion, God might move their hearts with love for the unborn child, for parents whose souls have been wounded by abortion, let us pray to the Lord.
R. Lord, hear our prayer
For those who have grown very old, that we might cherish them for their wisdom, and guard them as the infinite treasures they are, we pray to the Lord.
R. Lord, hear our prayer
For doctors, who in their practice abort unborn children: that God might give them the grace to turn from sin and remember the Gospel, we pray to the Lord.
R. Lord, hear our prayer
For pregnant teens: that they might receive the grace they need to love and protect the child God has placed in their care, we pray to the Lord.
R. Lord, hear our prayer
