Romans 8:38-39
38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

HOPE IN THE LOVE OF CHRIST
The greatest gift you can give your kids is not the newest and best the world has to offer. It is the love of God through Jesus Christ. That is the gift that enables them to resist the creation's lures and live in the love of the Creator. Your kids are going to be bombarded with messages from the world, and those promises are extraordinarily difficult to resist. In fact, they are impossible to resist without the indwelling Spirit. Introduce your kids to the gift that keeps on giving — grace.
Do you pursue God with the same fervor with which you pursue the things of the world?
Such a practical message but the follow through is harder than the message itself. Sometimes I think we understand what we need to do and yet we lack the willpower to be as disciplined as we would like. I think this is something that we have to die to daily in order to really accomplish (at least I do). It's my prayer that I become this...I want to be an example to Madison and lead her in the right direction!
