Let’s color the picture of the little girl. She looks so happy, doesn’t she?


Oh, Be Careful Little Eyes What You See

Oh, be careful little eyes, what you see.
Oh, be careful little eyes, what you see.
There’s a Father up above, looking down in tender love,
So be careful little eyes, what you see.

Be careful little ears what you hear
Be careful little mouth what you say…
Be careful little hands, what you touch…
Be careful little feet, where you go…

Bible Time

(Psa 19:14) Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

Story

Mary was playing in the sand box outside when Billy ran over to play with her. He wanted to help her build sand castles with the plastic containers Mommy had given them to use as molds.

As they were making their sand castles, Billy remembered that Jimmy had some nicer molds in his sand box. Billy ran over to Jimmy’s house and grabbed the molds out of his sand box and brought them to Mary’s sand box.

“Where did you get those, Billy?” asked Mary.

“At Jimmy’s house. He is at his Uncle’s house so he isn’t using them.” responded Billy.

Mommy came outside to bring the children some nice cold lemonade. (rub your tummy and smile)

“Oh! Where did those nice molds come from?” asked Mommy.

“From Jimmy’s house.” said Mary.

“Did you ask Jimmy’s Mommy if you could borrow them?” Mommy asked.

“No, I just took them.” said Billy.

“Oh Billy, taking something without asking is stealing. Let’s go to Jimmy’s house and tell his Mommy that you are returning them. OK?” said Mommy.

“But why? She didn’t see me take them. Can’t we just put them back when we are finished playing and not talk to her?” asked Billy.

“No, Billy. Just because she didn’t see you, you must remember that God sees you. He sees everything you do. He hears everything you say. He even knows what you are thinking. God knows that you took them without asking. So going to talk to Jimmy’s Mommy is the right thing to do. OK?” Mommy said.

“OK! Let’s go!” said Billy. “And next time, I’ll ask before I take something that does not belong to me!”  (clap your hands and smile)

Dear God…
Please help me to remember that You see everything that I do even though Mommy and Daddy don’t see me. Help me to remember, too, that You hear everything I say even when they are not around. Amen!

For the Weary – Day 7 – In the Right Hands

Do you feel as though your work for Christ has reached a point where your “light” has been reduced in your Christian walk? Maybe you were once active in your Church. Maybe you were involved in several ministries. However, your fervent work took its toll and you feel you’ve burned out. You figured that by reducing your “busy-ness” for God, your zeal would return. Ole slew foot would have you think this way. If he can deter you from doing the Lord’s work, he will have won.

Our Light

Your light may seem “smaller” to you, but just how much light can light up a dark room? My husband and I once stayed overnight at a cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains. It was so dark there, it was almost suffocating! We were laying in bed commenting on the oppressing darkness. John pressed a button on his watch to check what time it was and the background light lit up the entire room in a beautifully gentle blue light!

~John 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

Even if you are feeling at your weakest and you are totally “spent,” it is not your light but God’s light that shines in the darkness. God can still use you – God wants to use you! Don’t grow weary in well doing. You are able to touch the lives of countless people who are in the same boat you are! Only you are able to touch certain people. Only you are able to influence a certain person. A light in the right hands can be used mightily by the Lord.

This story was such a blessing to me and it went right along with my thoughts today! I hope you enjoy it!

Great Story

A man holding a candle was climbing the stairs of a lighthouse. On his way up to the top, the candle asked the man, “Where are we going?”

“We’re going to the top of this lighthouse to give signals to the big ships on the ocean,” the man answered.

“What? How could it be possible for me with my small light to give signals to those big ships?”

“They will never be able to see my light”, replied the candle weakly.

“That’s your part. If your light is small, let it be. All you have to do is keep burning and leave the rest to me”, said the man.

A little later, they arrived at the top of the lighthouse where there was a big lamp with a loop behind it. The man lit the lamp with the light of the candle and instantly, the place shone so brightly that the ships on the ocean could see its light.

OurNothing Can Become “Something”

Be the small candle and allow the Lord to use you to do His work – He will use your “nothing” to accomplish “something”!
