I am nearing the end of a bible study through my church, the Chapel. The name of the study is Conversation Speech. It has been such an eye opener about how God wants us to live our life. In so many places God has told us how to fill ourselves up with goodness, belief in ourselves, belief in others, lift each other up in our words and actions. When we do this, we help others as well as ourselves. Our ears hear what we speak, so when we speak negatively about anyone or any circumstance, we begin to believe.
Here are some of my new favorite quotes from the Bible:
"Encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness." Hebrews 3:13
"Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart." Proverbs 3:3
"Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves." Romans 12:10
"Be kind and compassionate to one another; forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." Ephesians 4:32
"Endure hardship as discipline." 12:7
"In humility I can regard others better than myself and consider their interests before my own." Matthew 7:3, Phil. 2:3-4
So my goal in life is to teach my children to read and understand this Bible, to live the way God wants us to live, with love and respect for one another. I want my children to decide to live a life full of abundance: abundant joy, abundant love, abundant laughter, abundant friendships, abundant family, abundance in all the good life has to offer. I choose this abundance as well, and I wish abundance for you as well. Enjoy this movie someone who cares about me shared with me.
