Love my elder's

I have a DEAR friend who is 82 year's of age and I appreciate her friendship as a matter of fact our whole family just loves her dearly. We had her over for dinner tonight and she loves to play with the children. She brought over an old fashioned game called "pick up sticks" and "jacks" it was cute. I remembered those games. My younger son didn't exactly want to play jacks the right way he preferred to spin the jacks in stead of pick them up. :)

Later as he played with his little action figure "men"(armored), it was so innocent she looked at him and said he's in the bible! Randy helped her figure out which scripture she was recalling and it goes like this...

"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against the flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Ephesians 6:10-16

As she read...it dawned on me that this scripture was surely for me! I had one of those day's today, actually it started last night and hung on all morning long! My heart was cut and wide open for the Lord's word. I have to remember who I belong to and who I do everything that I do "for".

What a blessing this evening has been.
