Fall Time

My mom LOVES to decorate for every season and most holidays. And because fall is almost over in Alberta I thought I should show you guys what our house looks like all decorated up for fall.

Our dining room



 

Above the living room window. My favourite part of the fall decorations is the crows, they look so real.

 

Under the window in the living room.

 

Next to the same living room window as in last two pictures. My mom loves using the McDonald's little fall dolls for decoration.

 

Above the office desk.

 

In the dining room. My mom just bought this from her favourite store. Isn't it so pretty?

 

The dining room.

That was all of our fall decorations. Christmas decorations will be coming anytime soon now that it is almost November 1st.

God bless you,

Faithful Fridays is a day where christians can share there faith, a song, a bible verse, a bible study that you are working through or anything that God has put on your heart to share. You can go to Joy's blog Doodle Bug to get the rules and picture.



 

Last night at youth we learnt about loving God with everything you got. The verse we were looking at was...

  And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.

Mark 12:30

We learnt about each one (heart, soul, mind, and strength) and what it means.

• Heart

It means to show/prove your love for God and loving Him above EVERYTHING else. It means that you can't just say you love Him and then not read your Bible and pray but go to some party doing stuff that is just plain wrong. But you have to show that you love Him by the way you act and speak and do stuff pleasing to Him.

Therefore you shall love the Lord your God, and keep His charge, His statutes, His judgments, and His commandments always.

Deuteronomy 11:1

• Soul

It means to show love with emotion. You know how some people just start crying when singing a worship song or lifting their hands, that is showing you love God with emotion. But you don't have to do it that way because there is other ways to do it.

 

My soul longs, yes, even faints
For the courts of the Lord;
My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

Psalm 84:2

 

• Mind

It means you have to think about God and learn about Him. You have to believe everything He says. Because if you think  and learn about things not pleasing to Him then how can you learn about God and see how awesome He is.

You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.

Isaiah 26:3

• Strength

It means to use physical energy to show that you love God. Showing Him that you will do anything even if it hurts you to show that you love Him.

I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD;
I will make mention of Your righteousness, of Yours only.

Psalm 71:16

 

 

Jesus went all in for us by dying on the cross so that we can go to Heaven. He showed more love than possible. So we should try more to go all in for Him and show Him that we love Him.

 

God bless you,

This picture is so true! My mom is exactly like this and I am sure that a bunch of others are too. I am also pretty sure that I will be like this too when I am a mom.

Faithful Fridays~Obedience

Faithful Fridays is a day where christians can share there faith, a song, a bible verse, a bible study that you are working through or anything that God has put on your heart to share. You can go to Joy's blog Doodle Bug to get the rules and picture.

Last night at youth, the youth pastor was talking about how to obey God.

You have commanded your precepts
    to be kept diligently.
Psalm 119:4

The word precept means rule - instruction - regulation - law - lesson and the word diligently means constantly. So the verse means God has commanded His rules and we are to keep them all the time. We are also suppose to obey Him....

• Not Partially, But Fully

Which means choosing some rules to obey and not others. But we are to obey everything God says and not choose what we want to obey. Because God didn't say that we could just choose, He said obey everything I say.

• Not Doubtfully, But Confidently

Which means being not sure if you should do what God says. It is like when you are going to go swimming and you put your toes in water to see if it is cold. And if it is you are not sure if you should go in or not. But you have to trust God that He knows what is best for you and go all in.

• Not Reluctantly, But Readily

Which means being like I really don't want to do it, well not right now. But being just so excited to do it and jump up and do it right away.

• Not Carelessly, But Carefully

It is when you are not sure if something is right or wrong so you don't know what to do. The best thing to do is just not do it and be safe than do it and disobey God.

• Not Coldly, But Earnestly

You can't obey grumpily and not willing to do it but you have to obey happy and with a pure heart.

• Not Sporadically, But Regularly

You can't obey now and then. You have to obey God 24/7. You have to obey God of whatever He says to do, when He says it, however He says it has to be done.

I know that no one can obey God like this but we have to strive to obey God everyday just like the things above.
