First off I want to thank all of you so much for the letters, texts, twitters ect about my daily posts.... I hope that they inspire you and make you laugh at the same time. The thing I love most besides God and my family is to LAUGH... anyone that knows me knows that I am the biggest NERD.. and even held the nickname "RENERD" for a while... so Yes I laugh at my own jokes and spend my mornings with the Lord then with anything funny I can find on the internet. Dorks R Us right here!!!
I just want to let you know something that has been put on my heart.... God showed me yesterday on how HE works... it is sooooooooooooo simple you don't know.
I have two kids... one is 7 and the other is 13 (God help me now) LOL ... Well, let's say one is being good.. not lying, obeying the rules, showing me love and respect being genuinely good. The other is lying, being unruly, not respecting me and not showing me love... Believe me this happens all of the time.. KIDS..LOL Well the kid that is being let's just say bad, looks at me and says "Why don't you treat me like my brother?" And honestly I tell them.. "Well if you want to be treated like this and want more from me.. change your attitude, don't lie, be good.. it is that easy..." Well, more times than not.. he will do the reverse and do worse.. lie more, act out and more or less be like a spoiled child... He will be like MINE MINE MINE.. but not show why he deserves it. So because he didn't respect me and listen... I then don't trust him.. and pull the presents and blessings away until he shows me that he can handle them and do right with them. Showing me that he appreciates them genuinely and not because he just did it to get the gift or attention.
Well my gorgeous peeps.. that is IT!!! That is how God is with us... When we see someone else blessed and we get all bent out of shape because we are still going through our trials.. We can either Praise HIM and keep treating OUR LORD with respect by loving HIM and obeying HIM or run around with our head cut off screaming MINE MINE MINE and then go sin our little butts off.... The funny thing.. Your not doing anything to God when you say.. well I will show HIM, I didn't get that girl I wanted...or that car.. or whatever it is.. I am going to start sleeping with everyone, drink swear.. oh I will get God for not treating me right... I will be the biggest sinner EVER.. Well dummy, HE is disapointed but your the one missing out.. Just like I tell my kids... it is so simple.. be good, love me, respect me and my rules... I will trust you... and then blessings will come... our relationship will be stronger.. the family unit will be whole because of it...
You are showing God.. well let's be real.. you are a spoiled brat... the 5 year old on the floor at Walmart kicking and screaming because they didn't get that toy.. Yes.. I did it many times... and now I laugh... I didn't deserve anything because I haven't shown God I deserve it... Just that I can win the academy award for the best temper tantrum...
So when you see someone else getting blessed and you are not... instead of turning into the brat.. turn into the Child of God you are... Praise HIM , Love HIM, Obey HIM.. the Family Unit will be stronger and so will you... Blessings will be on your way.. Get the umbrella out.. because it will be raining Abundance...
Have an amazing and blessed day peeps.. and I will leave you with my new favorite song..
