Are you being a good example?

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
As a christian we know it is our job to share our faith, to share the love of Christ and his Good News.  Are you sharing?  What about just living your life as a good example?  People will always watch and see your actions so are your actions and words something Jesus would say or do?  Paul writes and tell's people to look and watch him and be like him...brave man!  Have I been thinking about what other believers or non believers would see through my actions and words?  


Phillipains 3:17 Dear brothers and sisters, pattern your lives after mine, and learn from those who follow our example.


Paul was willing to be an example and was up for the challenge to do so. I love his heart and his attitude because in my thinking I think "wow it is such a hard task."  Then I sit and think about how easy it is at the same time.  Loving more is obviously one thing we all can continue to work on.  I know when I start to love people more I am always following in Christ's examples.  The other thing is always staying in His word and continuing to learn more about Jesus.  


I know I have a big influence on our youth group and I want to always be a blessing in their lives, be real, but always show them how to be more like Christ.  


So if you had a new believer live their life following in your footsteps what kind of life would you lead them too?   Would they see Christ come through or would they see the world?  (No worries, non of us are perfect and we get grace but think about it.)

Thought provoking blog and question. As I ponder I pray that I am that example to others that would lead them to the very one that first loved them Our Father in heaven. That they would want to know Him as their Lord and Savior as I do. I think I always have room for much improvement though. But ... I am a charcter in progress.

Wow...when you think about Paul, you realize how genuine his heart was in living with the believers. But Paul was never afraid of speaking the truth and also being confrontational for the sake of God's truth. It's hard to have that kind of wisdom.

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
  Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...

Win some Sweet Andy's Cookies

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
A big thank you to Andy who sent me some amazing cookies to try to conduct my review.  :)  All opinions expressed are 100 % mine and I was not paid for this review.   About Sweet Andy's Cookies: The “Thank You” Cookie In 2009, Andrew (Sweet Andy) found himself in a position like so many others at that time in our past; the economy was quickly spiraling downward and he had left his job in the financial services industry. Although Andy had an MBA in Banking and Finance and had even written a book entitled, “A Guide to Taking Control of Your Investments”, he found himself to be disenchanted with the financial industry and left to pursue “other work.”  The “other work” that Andrew pursued was with the Church and did not provide financial support for the family.  During this time Andy and his wife, Lissa, struggled to find other forms of income. They did what they could for themselves and their five children but often it was not enough. But there were...
