Scripture is God-breathed and true. When we memorize it, we carry the good news of Jesus with us wherever we go.
This week, memorize the first part of our key verse for this plan.
Rejoice always, pray constantly, give thanks in everything; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
—1 Thessalonians 5:16–18
Rejoice always
I have been through this with one of mine, who thinks I am sinning and a hypocrite because I divorced his abusive father (who he doesn’t believe was abusive). It tore my heart to pieces. If you are not already doing so, reassure your children of your unconditional love no matter what they believe. Respect their beliefs (no matter how much it hurts) but also expect them to treat YOU with respect even if they don’t with to participate in any of your religious observances. I am seeing a change in my son since I didn’t allow him to see me for Christmas last year (but met him for lunch the following day). He knew I was serious about expecting respect. I pray you and your husband find your own way to enforce boundaries with unconditional love this season. ❤️
I love this way to remember the verse! Thank you!! ♥️
Amen

Rejoice always! To do this, we have to ponder all that there is for us to rejoice about, rather than thinking about the negative. And it leads us to give thanks.
Good morning sweet She’s. Praying for you, Laura for your adult children. Dawn Prenatt, praying for the tragedy in your community. So sad. Sweet Tina, praying for healing of your sciatica. During my younger years I worked for a chiropractor, and I know and seen what this looks. Praying for complete healing.
Happy Sunday sweet She’s. I’m looking forward to only working two days this week and half an extended break, but it will consist of getting it ready for Thanksgiving as we are hosting it here.
Oh Dawn, how my heart hurts for this family and your community! Praying for a peace that passes all understanding during the aftermath of this tragedy!
