Doing the Right Thing
"He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord
and followed completely the ways of his father David, not turning aside
to the right or to the left." -- 2 Kings 22:2 (NIV)
Kyle sure likes his new pickup! And his dad is happy that we finally sold his old car. It was beginning to look like a used car lot at our house. Just one more vehicle for sale.
Yesterday was the day we finally got the truck licensed. Kyle's one question was if he had to have license places on the front and back of his truck. It seems it's "cool" to only have plates on the back. Who knew?! What we found out at the DMV, however, is that two plates are required. One on the back and one on the front.
Bummer for Kyle there is a "rule", and he knows the rule, because now that he knows, he has a responsibility to do the right thing. It's tempting to say, "but other people don't have a license plate on the front," and follow the crowd, even knowing it's wrong. All the time, there are these quandaries in life.
I pray that Alyssa and Kyle always follow the rules and laws in life, no matter how "crazy" they seem, but even bigger than that, I pray they always do what is right in the eyes of the Lord, no matter how hard it feels. Now that would make them some pretty wonderful children...God's children!
Lord, I pray that Alyssa and Kyle always do what is right and follow completely your ways, not turning aside to the right or to the left. Make their hearts totally obedient to you...and for you, never swaying to follow the crowd or feelings that come and go. Always doing what is right and good will ultimately bring you glory. Thank you, Father, for Alyssa and Kyle and your continual work in their lives. I trust you with their hearts, minds and souls! Amen!

No Lies
"What this adds up to, then, is this: no more lies, no more pretense. Tell your neighbor the truth. In Christ’s body we’re all connected to each other, after all. When you lie to others, you end up lying to yourself." Ephesians 4:25
Kyle (1999)
Lord, I pray that Alyssa and Kyle always speak truth. Lies are so harmful to relationships and keep us from representing You. May truth always be on their lips.

Commitments Keepers
"Don’t break your promises...Say only yes if you mean yes, and no if you mean no. If you say more than yes or no, it is from the Evil One." Matthew 5:33, 37 (New Century Version)
At the beginning of winter Kyle agreed to be our neighbor's snow shoveler all season long. Every time the ground turns white, he'll cross the street with his shovel, and get to work. The income it brings is a nice little bonus.
BUT.... It's easier to make that kind of commitment before the real snow begins to fall.
This week we had our fourth or fifth snow fall of the season (which is a lot for our neck of the woods) and Kyle wasn't too excited to go do his job. And my response? "Too bad, buddy, you agreed you'd be there every time in snowed!"
Keeping promises, doing what you say you'll do, and following through to the best of your ability is an important quality to practice and hold onto.
I sure want my boy to be known as a man of good faith, shining in honesty, commitment, and integrity.
Lord, you never break your promises, and for that I give you praise and thanks. I pray that Alyssa and Kyle always keep their promises, and are careful to always keep their word. Sometimes that means being cautious in the things they say "yes" to, and sometimes it will mean doing things they don't want to do because they said they would. Give them the wisdom in both situations, Father. I pray that Alyssa and Kyle are known for their good word. If they say "yes", may they be faithful, and if they need to say "no" may it be out of wisdom and care. Honesty and commitment will reflect your presence and command of their lives. May Alyssa and Kyle always represent you well!

Dare to be Different
"We are aliens and strangers in your sight, as were all our forefathers." 1 Chronicles 29:15
One spring our daughter talked us into planting red petunias. She knew that I normally have a tendency to pick purple or pink, but, red it was. One day, as I went through and was weeding and dead-heading them, I noticed something peculiar. In and among the throngs of red, I found one lone purple flower. Alone it stood.
It reminds me of a prayer for my kids: Be different. Stand out in the crowd. Follow Christ, even when the world looks at you as odd, peculiar, and unpopular. Choose to be who God made you, and the person He wants you to be.
I dare you, children of mine, to be different. Be the purple flowers in the sea of red.
Lord, you call us to be aliens and strangers in this world. You dare us to be different. I pray that for Alyssa and Kyle today. Help our dear children to stand firm in what they know and believe of you, and in who you've called them to be. Give them confidence to make decisions that please you, even when it goes against the crowd, or the thing everyone else is doing. Holy Spirit, prompt their minds and nudge their feet to follow you in everything they say and do. There will be times where they will need courage to be different from the world around them. I know, dear Jesus, you will be right there beside them, leading them down the right paths. It's a high calling to follow you, and a calling that will bring Alyssa and Kyle much blessing. Thank you, Father, for allowing us to be your children, and giving us the strength we need to stand out in this world.

Flirting with Evil
"Run for dear life from evil; hold on for dear life to good." Romans 12:9 (The Message)
Sunday night, Kyle went to the mall with his friend, and came home with earring studs in his ears. I tried hard not to flip out until I knew the truth of the situation, assuming that surely he wouldn't pierce his ears without his mother's permission (though, my mother would tell you I did that when I was living at home as well...my only excuse was that I was 18 and my friends made me do it...sorry mom!). As I tried to grab at Kyle's ears, he flinched and squirmed, so for a brief second I thought he had succumbed to looking like a girl (in my humble opinion). After some scrutiny, he laughed and showed me that his piercings were just magnets.
Whew. My heart could start beating at a normal rate.
Why are the things of this world so attractive? Music, tattoos, smoking, drinking, sex before marriage, and foul language, fashion, etc. Sometimes, as a godly mom, it feels like a big battle to fight every day. My hope is that my kids would "run for dear life from evil, rather than dance around the edge and flirt with things that don't please the Lord.
Truly, I know and trust that this is a war for the Holy Spirit to win. I'm just going to stand along the sidelines, cheering on Alyssa and Kyle and getting on my knees in prayer, to hold on for dear life to the good God has for them!
Lord, help Alyssa and Kyle to run for dear life from evil and hold on for dear life to good! Prod their hearts to seek after the things that you desire, and hold fast to a life that his holy and pleasing to you. Give Alyssa and Kyle eyes to see life as you see it, and have a heart that is like yours. May the things of the world leave a bitter taste in their mouth. Lord, this is my plea.

Law Abiding Citizens
"Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities..." Romans 13:1
In less than a month my baby boy is turning 16. How time flies. Kyle is waiting with bated-breath for his big day, for one main reason:
He can drive after dark.
We've had many "discussions" about the fairness of us following the law of our state that says those under 16 cannot drive before sunrise and after sunset. With each day getting shorter and shorter this rule gets harder and harder to obey.
We've heard many points in this debate...
I won't get caught.
Other parents don't care if their kid drives after dark.
I'll be 16 in less than a month.
I am trying to teach my son that following the law and living obedient lives is an important part of who we are as believers and citizens. We don't always understand the rules but most often they are for our best.
I'm praying that my kids are always rule followers and law abiders by choice!
Lord, even your Word calls us to obey and submit to governing authorities. I pray that obedience marks Alyssa and Kyle's lives whether it be by obeying your Word, hearing your voice lead them, or obeying the laws of the land. Often our human nature is to buck and battle when there are limits or boundaries placed on us, but you call us to live obedient and self-sacrificing lives. Often being a rule-follower is the harder thing, but I pray that Alyssa and Kyle always choose submission, obedience, and compliance. Father, soften their wills and make them tender towards you and your call on their lives. May they be wholly obedient to you!

A Great Reward
"The Lord rewards everyone for their righteousness and faithfulness." 1 Samuel 26:23
You may be still waiting for some of my "profoundness" about graduation day, but you'll have to come back another day. However, what a great weekend it has been...celebration galore, great family time, and many reminders of God's work in our lives.
One fun thing, that I can't help but brag about, was that Lyss found out she was the class salutatorian on Friday and had to give a speech in Saturday's graduation ceremony. Four years of hard work paid off and the reward was the opportunity to say one last word to her graduating class. Such a proud moment for this mom, that's for sure.
God rewards us when we are faithful to Him and His calling in our lives. I pray that Alyssa and Kyle experience many other great rewards as they live righteous and faithful lives for Him. It will always be worth the hard work, sacrifice, and time we give to and for Him!
Way to go, baby girl! "You done good!"
Oh precious Father, my heart is full of praise and thanks. Your reward and blessing on Lyssa's life this weekend was big. I pray that Alyssa and Kyle always choose to live righteous and faithful lives in response to you and your call on their lives. In turn, they will find blessing from you. May they sense your deep pleasure in who they are, and the delight you find in what they do for you, still recognizing that they can't earn your love, but you give it freely to them. Thank you, Lord, for the many blessings you shower down on your children, I pray that Alyssa and Kyle always live faithful and righteous lives.

The Wrong Kind of Pride
"Be especially careful when you are trying to be good so that you don't
make a performance out of it. It might be good theater, but the God who
made you won't be applauding." Matthew 6:1 (The Message)
Most of the trouble
Most of the trouble
in the world is caused
by people wanting to
be important
.- T.S. Eliot
In general, pride is at
the bottom
of all great mistakes.
- John Ruskin
Pride can be ugly. I feel the ugliness when I find my mouth or heart wanting to cry out with self-awareness and exaltation.
Pride builds up walls. Especially in relationships when our lifting of self puts down someone else.
Pride just really sours life if we allow it to give us a big head, a loud mouth, and a tall standing in our own eyes.
I want my kids to be proud of who they are, and what they have become or done in their lives, without the ugly kind of pride that makes them look ugly to others.
Lord, help Alyssa and Kyle to be careful not to practice their righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If they do, they will have no reward from you. You have gifted them in beautiful ways, but may they always be careful to use those gifts to glorify you instead of themselves. May your Holy Spirit tug at their hearts, when they start becoming prideful, and remind them of your call to humility. May Alyssa and Kyle always shine you in their words and actions, and in the depths of their hearts as they find success in their life, and give you all the credit and praise.

Keeping Promises
"When you make a promise,
say only "Yes" or "No."
Anything else comes from the devil."
~Matthew 5:37
Promises are like babies:
easy to make, hard to deliver.
~Author Unknown
Promises may fit the friends,
but non-performance will
turn them into enemies.
~Benjamin Franklin
Lord, teach Alyssa and Kyle the importance of their word and to be careful to always keep their promises. May it be their commitment to not break their covenant; and not take back a single word they say. Especially when they make a vow to you, Lord, I pray that they don't delay in fulfilling it, for you take no pleasure in fools. I pray that honesty and integrity always mark Alyssa and Kyle's lives. I know you live in them, and through their actions and their words, and following through with their promises, others will see you! Thank you, dear Jesus, for hearing my prayer.

Tame that Tongue
"With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be." James 3:9-10
Oh the tongue! It is such a little thing in our body, yet sometimes it can cause huge damage.
Enough said.
Lord, use Alyssa and Kyle's mouths to encourage others, and may comfort from their lips bring those around them relief. (Job 16:5) Holy Spirit, guide, direct, prod, and convict our children when they don't speak with words that reflect you. Help them to look past their own interest, and look to the good of others, being sympathetic to others feelings and needs. I pray that Alyssa and Kyle always use their tongues to encourage one another and build each other up. (1 Thessalonians 5:11)

Thankful Thursday:My Son's Integrity
“One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much." Luke 16:10
This week Kyle brought home an award that he got in school LAST week. Funny boy. He forgot all about it in his excitement of leaving for Men's Retreat I guess. It was once called the "citizen of the week" award, but now is the "growth mindset recognition". With each award the teacher writes a note describing the honoree. Here's what Kyle's award says:
Way to go, Kyle! I pray that you will always be a man of great integrity.
Lord, thank you for my dear son, Kyle. I know that you have fearfully and wonderfully created him, and you have great plans for his life. I see you living and active in his life, and pray that it continues from now until the end of his days. May Kyle choose to follow you with all that is within him. Integrity is living undivided and in complete and firm adherence to you. Your Word says that "whoever walks in integrity walks securely". (Proverbs 10:9) May Kyle always keep his conduct in the world honorable. (1Peter 2:12) May the words of his mouth and the meditation of his heart be pleasing in your sight, precious Savior. (Psalm 19:14)

Your presence in our classroom is like a steady rock. I can count on you to always do the right thing. Thank you for being a young man of great integrity. Congratulations!!Yes, I was proud. To read that our son as seen as a "young man of great integrity" blessed this momma's heart. I could ask for nothing better.

Keep Your Word
"It is better not to vow than to make a vow and not fulfill it." Ecclesiastes 5:5
It snowed Sunday night. Maybe, just maybe, we will have a white Christmas. Unfortunately the weather man says probably not.
Kyle had a great idea for making money a few weeks ago. He prepared some fliers and went around the neighborhood announcing that he was for hire to shovel driveways if it snowed. And it worked. After the first snow, Kyle got an official job offer. He only has to show up after each snow, shovel the sidewalk and driveway of our neighbor, and he'd make five bucks. Yahoo.
But then it snowed again.
And yet again.
Each time bringing more and more grumbles.
So, yesterday morning, I woke up Kyle so he could head to the neighbors because it snowed through the night. After he got all bundled up and ready to get to work, he says "Mom, why do you always make me do things that I don't like?"
Wait a minute. Did I make the fliers? Did I agree to take the job?
My words in response were short and sweet, I'm sure. I want my children to, not only be people who work hard, but people who keep their word. God says "Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No’ " (Matthew 5:37)
So, let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
Lord, I know with all my heart and soul that not one of all the good promises you gave has failed. Every promise has been fulfilled; not one has failed. May we become more like you and be children who keep our promises. We become trustworthy people when we keep our word. Lord, I pray that Alyssa and Kyle continue to grow up into individuals that follow through with their commitments, keep their promises, and only say "yes" if they mean "yes". Prod their hearts, dear Jesus, to speak with honesty, integrity, and faithfulness. May they reflect you, when they put action to their words.
Our house...2008...before the demise of our snow globe

When you tell God you'll do something, do it—now.
God takes no pleasure in foolish gabble. Vow it, then do it.
Far better not to vow in the first place than to vow and not pay up.
Don't let your mouth make a total sinner of you.
When called to account, you won't get by with
"Sorry, I didn't mean it."
Why risk provoking God to angry retaliation?
