“Home is to be the center of the purest and most elevated affection. Peace, harmony, affection, and happiness should be perseveringly cherished every day, until these precious things abide in the hearts of those who compose the family. The plant of love must be carefully nourished, else it will die. Every good principle must be cherished if we would have it thrive in the soul. That which Satan plants in the heart –envy, jealousy, evil surmising, evil speaking, impatience, prejudice, selfishness, covetousness, and vanity– must be uprooted. If these evil things are allowed to remain in the soul, they will bear fruit by which many shall be defiled. Oh, how many cultivate the poisonous plants that kill out the precious fruits of love and defile the soul!”

The Bottle

marci1 Comment

This is a  a bottle.  It  is my water bottle.  Anyone who is around me for long knows that I carry this bottle wherever I go. When I forget and leave it somewhere, I miss it.  Thankfully it is usually left in a place I can retrieve it.

Makes me think…

This is a Bible.  This is my Bible.   Those around me know that this is my Bible.  But I don’t physically carry it with me wherever I go. But, I can carry what I know from this book wherever I go.  When I don’t have it,  I should miss it like I do my water bottle.

I think of Psalm 119:11

“Your word have I hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You”

These are children.  These are my children.

They need to see that I have  hidden Gods word in my heart that I might not sin.

My thoughts, attitudes,  actions,  words, and my countenance all reveal whether I am as devoted to “carrying” my Bible as I am to “carrying” my water bottle.

“My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.”

2 Corinthians 12:9

“One of the surest safeguards against evil is useful occupation, while idleness is one of the greatest curses; for vice, crime, and poverty follow in its wake.”
