What we speak.......

Alright, finally, a day without feeling bad. Which it has come at a great time. I am cleaning, doing laundry, getting ready to go to the beach. YEAH!!! Going to the Beach!!!!! So today is the only day to get EVERYTHING done, clean out the car (heehee) all that. So I thought I would take a little break. Well, first off, I got a new bible yesterday, (mine fell apart) They just don't make them like they used to, our grandparents bible, well they still have there first one. Now if you need another bible, I strongly suggest the Mom's Devotional Bible, it is such a great bible. Which leads me to what I want to talk about today, I opened my bible to:
Proverbs 4:24-27 Put away perversity from your mouth; keep corrupt talk far from your lips. Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you. Make level paths for your feet and take only ways that are firm. Do not swerve to the right or the left: keep your foot from evil.
Now this really said a lot to me, especially if you are a Mom. In just reading this, it makes me think about our children watching and hearing everything we do. When we are sitting around speaking of others, our children are listening, even if we think they aren't. Always walk in Gods eyes, speak and do as he wants us to do, think about the things we are going to say before we say them. Is that something I would stand in front of our Lord and say? Well you are, he is there and so are our children. I can not tell you how many times I have been over at my kids school, and have seen and heard these precious children speaking about some one else, repeating things their moms and dads have said. Oh what are we teaching them? This is something we need to pray about, it is so important. Now don't get me wrong, this too is something I have done many times. We just need to really pray. Another verse was:
Proverbs 20:7 The righteous man leads a blameless life: blessed are his children after him.
Again, another verse tell us how to act as a person. It make our children's walk easier. Because if someone has done something in the past, how many times have you heard others comment on who their parents are, or something they did in the past. Now in saying that, the others should NOT judge, or hold things against others or their children, but they do. No we cannot talk back things we have done, but you can change what you do today.

Dear Lord God, please help our walk as parents. Help us to set a good example for our children. Lord please give them what they need, to stay clear of past mistakes that we have made, oh they are so sweet, give us the knowledge on when to speak and when not to speak, so that they will come back to you unharmed. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
