It is incredibly beautiful and I love how you were able to relate your children & your father & the snake {how fitting given the references} to how much God loves us and take cares of us & how the enemy is always trying to get us. I am very thankful that the snake never got your children and they knew right away to call to you when they saw the snake!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6224805318264419636.post-88625965159204074302009-07-22T13:16:47.776-04:002009-07-22T13:16:47.776-04:00I love how you teach God's word through everyd...I love how you teach God's word through everyday happenings!<br />God is truly using you to share His word! <br /><br />Blessings, LindaMimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17211113615965918267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6224805318264419636.post-2369266552720085602009-07-22T11:35:50.521-04:002009-07-22T11:35:50.521-04:00Thank you Jenifer for using what God has truly giv...Thank you Jenifer for using what God has truly given you a gift of, sharing His word thru words in simpe eveyday terms. <br />May God Bless you and contiue to use you for His kingdom!<br /><br />Serving Him, LindaMimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17211113615965918267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6224805318264419636.post-53638506827865030702009-07-22T07:06:34.442-04:002009-07-22T07:06:34.442-04:00Amen!! I came in from my jog a couple weeks ago a...Amen!! I came in from my jog a couple weeks ago and found a black snack on my driveway. I don't like snakes at all and froze in my steps when I saw it. We live on Lady's Island in SC where snake's are everywhere (so I'm now told). Why didn't someone tells us this before we bought our house here? I had the same thoughts you did about how satan slivers around seeking to destroy anyone who will give their hands or feet to be bitten. Once I collected my self I asked God to please remove the snake and he did.. to my next door neighbors yard! This brought me to my second thought. As we resist the enemy he flees but to where.. to our friends, our loved ones, our children and husbands. We have to pray at all times for Gods protection of those we hold near to our hearts. <br /><br />We need to be reminded of who the enemy is and how he moves about ready to strike at any moment. Thank you for sharing Jenifer!Cheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00019498917235765962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6224805318264419636.post-18564991540763216722009-07-21T21:57:39.176-04:002009-07-21T21:57:39.176-04:00I LOVE your new look!
