It's ok....

Talk about a sweet moment. I had gone to the doctor yesterday, and Lil E was with me. And I had to get a couple of shots. So she tells me "Mommy, it's ok, I'm right here!" The sweetest words! And sometimes we thing they are not listening to us, but they are for sure! Then after we got home and all, and I was laying down, she ran in there with me and jumped up on the bed, gave me the biggest hug, and said "feel better baby, I'm just right in there with Daddy." It makes me so proud to see what a caring and loving lil girl she really is! I pride myself on this very thing!

Have a great weekend!

Day 27

Day 27

Pray that your husband will understand the importance of taking care of his body—the temple of the Holy Spirit—for the glory of God. Pray that he will practice self-control by making wise food choices, and get sufficient exercise to stay healthy. (Rom. 12:1-2; 1 Cor. 6:19-20, 9:27)

Romans 12:1-2 (New International Version)

1Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual[a] act of worship. 2Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (New Living Translation)
19 Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, 20 for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.

1 Corinthians 9:27 (New Living Translation)
27 I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified.
