Praise the Lord Jesus that they have seen and heard some good somewhere along the way and by the grace of God I can say how proud I am of them today. Keep up the good fight to raise those gifts set before you! We both know we will be pressed down and attacked on all sides, but greater is He who is in us!<BR/>I have to say I quit listening to all music that was not Christian many year ago. I know I might be radical and weird to some, but I can honestly say "garbage in, garbage out" to my kids. Jenna listens to a variety of stuff, but she can't ever point her finger at me. I don't get critical at her about her choices, but I try real hard to be a godly example.<BR/>Oops, sorry, once again I kinda got to preachin' :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33542389.post-41412779473724662552007-02-20T23:42:00.000+02:002007-02-20T23:42:00.000+02:00Thanks for sharing.

It is true that I need to be reminded about the things I'm listening to that my kids hear also. <BR/><BR/><BR/>I'm so glad I live right across from the school my son goes to. It is so handy. He just walks to and from school. I remember the hassels of having to hurry hurry in the morning to get to school on time. We still have to hurry now, but not near as much.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01202492142268389742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33542389.post-62156845305221361342007-02-20T22:22:00.000+02:002007-02-20T22:22:00.000+02:00Where is that verse found?

It's encouraging and challenging at the same time. I fall short everyday as a wife, parent, and friend, that is just the reality, but living day to day, as Christ commanded, gives me hope that there is grace in parenting, and in any relationship, and where I fall short, He shines through with His own example. I love that verse and will add it to my prayers over Em. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for always being a godly example to me, today from half way around the world and many moons ago at TM. I appreciate you!<BR/>Say hi to Rich and the kids for us!<BR/>Love,<BR/>Ade<BR/>xoxoxAdriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04101665341916407243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33542389.post-57173303182145741042007-02-20T21:36:00.000+02:002007-02-20T21:36:00.000+02:00You don't need to multi-task while driving - that'...You don't need to multi-task while driving - that's a no no and (your mother said so).<BR/>We pray that scripture for all our grandkids on a regular basis too -how great is that?!<BR/>You're doing a good job - just keep it up.<BR/>MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33542389.post-89040873766226780772007-02-20T21:27:00.000+02:002007-02-20T21:27:00.000+02:00Rich will be home tomorrow!!

However I quite enjoy his stuff as I know many of you will agree he is a great speaker!<BR/><BR/>It is 'Living your Best Life Now' Joel Osteen's book on CD. I actually thought of hanging onto it and listening to it with the kids again when they are a bit older.michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11732461759449365762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33542389.post-13253485740576642352007-02-20T20:36:00.000+02:002007-02-20T20:36:00.000+02:00Ok my friend, cough up the name of the CD's.

They are sponges and their hearts seem soft to God and spiritual things right now.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the post, Michelle. My mom used to pray that Scripture for me and my siblings. In fact, when we'd be acting up, she'd quote it to us. Hilarious!<BR/><BR/>My mom always said she was a bad mother, but I don't agree. Well, she really wasn't a bad mom, but the best thing she did for us kids was pray for us a ton. <BR/><BR/>Being a good example is really important, I agree. And having that goal, along with being a praying mom, is a good combination; because, when we mess up, the prayer part makes up for it! :)Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16013529023946198919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33542389.post-13709427366348100512007-02-20T16:19:00.000+02:002007-02-20T16:19:00.000+02:00Love this post Michelle!

It's a question that a SAHM can't help but ponder and often feel much guilt about.<BR/><BR/>I have always listened to Christian music but lately it has completely captivated my heart. In the past I would turn on my radio in the car and listen to a variety of music (probably mainly Country). <BR/><BR/>Then I started really 'listening' to the words and I thought about what it would sound like to hear my children repeating it. <BR/><BR/>I finally came to a place where I don't change my station off of our FABULOUS Christian station. I am never worried that they will hear something they shouldn't.Heidi Jo Comeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01503259742540607539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33542389.post-75632352761767983592007-02-20T16:12:00.000+02:002007-02-20T16:12:00.000+02:00Wow, this is a good one, and it's something I've b...Wow, this is a good one, and it's something I've been thinking on a lot lately. Not that specific verse, but how the things/people/music/whatever of our lives directly affects my kids. I do really like the verse though! I'm looking that one up as soon as I get done here! Thanks for sharing your traffic jam musings! <BR/><BR/>Is your husband home yet? :)Lisa Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04380727868222192526noreply@blogger.com
