Stay out of the pigpen!
Happy Spring!
I'm typing this while intermittently attempting to keep our new puppy out of the pig pen...he doesn't understand how frolicking around in the mud with an almost 300 lb. piggy could be hazardous to his health.
Anyway, just wanted to share I'm excited about God's Word. It never ceases to amaze me how He'll fill me up if I just ask. I've read Luke 12 tons of times, but wow is it loaded! Christ teaching us the fear of God, what to value, how much He loves us..!
My poor family once again got a crazy text from me encouraging them to read it cuz I love them, but He loves them so much more. I know, most of the time I don't lead family devotions the conventional way,but when you've got four teenagers that are crazy busy you encourage when and how you can! My prayer & love for them is constant, I try to live as an example, own it when I don't...they're watching whether I want them to or not; how humbling!
I couldnt tell you how our giant pig, Porker, so easily entices the pup, Jake,to sneak into his pen. He leans against the fence to make an entrance for him to squeeze through and "have some fun" in that squishy mud. Its just more than Jake can resist. It just scares me to death when I parallel that with us and the danger we are constantly in to fall into temptation. (I know, I should've been a gymnast. I love to parallel :) )
Anyway, excuse my honesty, but the world is a pigpen, yet it's so enticing. We all just want to fit in it so badly....crazy. All it leaves us is stinky and covered in mud; usually limping a little from getting stomped on once or twice. Shoot, if we don't realize the dangers and get out of our sinful ways we're goners, done...eternally damned. Oh, how we need to cling to Christ! If we call on Him, He'll wash us clean; and give us the Spirit to help keep us out of the pigpen.
Maybe this is an unfinished blog to some, but my time with the Lord and the coffee are kicking in. I gotta get moving! What a struggle it is, if I'm honest, to express what His Word does to me.
I just want to say open the Bible prayerfully with an open heart. He'll fill it! I hope it'll leave you understanding exactly what I'm talking about.
Love you guys! He loves you more!
