Ever had a song stuck in your head.... I got one stuck this morning.... hummed it... then sung it under my breath and then started singing out very loud to the complete wonder of my littles.... the thing is .... it was one of those great learned as a kid songs.....

The Ants Go Marching song..... love it.... isn't it just too fun to let your hair down so to speak and have fun with your kids!!!!

Lots of work done today...

How wonderful it is to get the work you plan finished..... today I have gotten the laundry done (I know there will be more tomorrow, but the feeling of it tonight is worth it!) the bathroom and kitchen clean and the kids are in or going shortly to bed..... this day has been good!

Col 3:17 (ESV) And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Isa 62:3-5 (ESV) You shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God. You shall no more be termed Forsaken, and your land shall no more be termed Desolate, but you shall be called My Delight Is in Her, and your land Married; for the LORD delights in you, and your land shall be married. For as a young man marries a young woman, so shall your sons marry you, and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you.

How can we deny HIS proclamation of unfailing love. HE has given us a new name. HE has made us HIS delight. If HE so rejoices in us ...... how can we not but rejoice in HIM.

Wow, Has it been nearly a year....

I started this blog hoping for it to be a very much posted to blog.... shortly after I opened it and posted the first couple of entries my life turned upside down..... now I am settled and would like to post once more. God has been so good to me and my family during this past year even through all hardships we have had to bear. I hope to be here more often and will post on many different things.... but I want my focus to always be on the inheritance that is awaiting me.

Just what does it mean ...... inheritance? Mirriam- Webster's definition

in·her·i·tance

\in-ˈher-ə-tən(t)s, -ˈhe-rə-\

Function:

noun

Date:

14th century

1 a: the act of inheriting property b: the reception of genetic qualities by transmission from parent to offspring c: the acquisition of a possession, condition, or trait from past generations2: something that is or may be inherited3 a: tradition b: a valuable possession that is a common heritage from nature 4obsolete : possession


First and foremost, we as Christians enjoy the inheritance of eternal life just as Jesus promised.....John 14:19-20 In just a little while the world will not see me again, but you will. For I will live again, and you will, too. When I am raised to life again, you will know that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.

When we become children of God through the grace of Christ we have become heirs to the glory God is awaiting to present to us! Gal 4:5-7 God sent him to buy freedom for us who were slaves to the law, so that he could adopt us as his very own children. And because you Gentiles have become his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, and now you can call God your dear Father. Now you are no longer a slave but God's own child. And since you are his child, everything he has belongs to you.

But Look at the “b” of the definition..... 'the reception of genetic qualities by transmission from parent to offspring.' See, when we put on Christ and become children of God we also start 'inheriting' godly qualities....Col 3:12-15 Since God chose you to be the holy people whom he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. You must make allowance for each other's faults and forgive the person who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. And the most important piece of clothing you must wear is love. Love is what binds us all together in perfect harmony. And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are all called to live in peace. And always be thankful.

We should strive to be Christ like. We should walk daily following His footsteps. For it is through Him that we have been set free from the bondage of sin and now are heirs to the promise of God.
