GET UP, GET READY, and GO TO CHURCH!

         If Facebook, Fox News, or a place like Freddy’s Fun House was church, many members would have perfect attendance.

Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple. Psalm 65:4

         What excuse will you give today? I’m tired, after working in the yard all day yesterday. I have some fish to go catch. I need to clean the house. I’ve got to wash my husband’s clothes. I need to mow the yard. I really need to go see my sister, I haven’t seen her since last weekend (The last Sunday you missed.) Yeah I know, these are some “good” excuses but that’s all they are! Just Stop!

         We have time for Facebook, Fox News, and time to go out to have fun but what about time with the Lord? Time that will reap benefits forever! Child of God, there is no better way to invest your time than to GET UP, GET READY, and GO TO CHURCH and Sunday School! You may even have perfect attendance one day!

WHO ARE YOU TRAVELING WITH?

The people with whom we travel are much more important than the place to which we travel. –Wright

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 2 Corinthians 6:14

We have gone on many trips with friends of ours. Mission Trips, vacations, and school trips have been so much better because of the company we had. We have made each another laugh, cry, and one time, one of us even danced on stage. Going through this life with them has been so much better because they were with us.

Friend, are you trying to travel this life without the Lord Jesus? Stop! Trust Him! He will wipe the tears from your eyes when you cry. He will put a smile on your face when no one else can. I don’t think He will ever get you to dance on a stage but what He may get you to do is deliver the Good News of Jesus Christ to a lost, dying, and hurting world!

Who are you traveling with that pushes you closer to God? If you don’t have anyone—pray and ask the Lord to give you someone!

JUST ANOTHER DAY OFF???

How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? Proverbs 6:9

I remember when I use to work at the Christian School, I had the pleasure of staying at home with my kids and we would play in the snow! When it was safe enough to drive on the roads I would load them up and we would head in to scrape the sidewalks, parking lots, and road leading into the school. After we got finished, it was on! We would tie boogie boards to the tractor and hit the practice field! Boy we had some fun!

Child of God, enjoy the time you have with your kids! Don’t lay in the bed all day. Get up! Get your kids up! Make memories that last. Even on your day off!
