Living Proverbs 22:6

"Train up a child in the way he should go,

Even when he is old he will not depart from it."

Proverbs 22:6

KINDNESS~ Seeing needs in the lives of others as opportunities to demonstrate my love for Christ.

I received this message in a thank you card. After reading it many times and holding on to it for a long while, it was strong on my heart that I should teach this to our children. It's a loaded statement! Being truly KIND goes much deeper than just using your manners.

It's a heart matter.

It's a where's my relationship with Christ matter.

This whole month along side our morning Bible and prayer time, we are discussing KINDNESS. We are digging in to the above description of KINDNESS and have spent time looking up and memorizing scriptures to support God's call for us to be KIND.

"Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you." Eph. 4:32

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness..." Gal. 5:22

"But love your enemies, and do good and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men." Luke 6:35

These are just a few that we have looked at so far....

Seeing needs in others. I asked what they thought that meant. Most of their answers were big...like if someone needed food or a house. Yes, they are absolutely right! But I encouraged them to keep their eyes open for the little needs that are all around us daily. Maybe they could pick up a pencil that dropped on the floor. Maybe someone needs a KIND word of encouragement. How about instead of the first one to recess that you are the last to ask your teacher if they need help or push in the chairs that are left out? What about the kid in class that treats you badly? How could you be kind to them??

What about us as parents?? How do we see the needs in others?

What we do...our children will do!!

By showing KINDNESS to others, we are ultimately showing our love for Christ!!

We are showing THE LOVE OF CHRIST!!

"We love, because He first loved us" 1 John 4:19

To show true KINDNESS we must deny self. We must put Christ first, others second and ourselves last. Daily pick up that heavy cross and move forward...

It's a choice.

Do you love Christ??

Then I challenge you seek out opportunities to demonstrate that love to others!! Even those we think deserve that kindness the least...

You WILL be blessed!
=) ~Tina

Then, in saving the best for last!!

I would love to introduce our Give a Blessing for this month...

Malachi Stephen!!

We have been keeping our eyes and ears open for our next recipient and after many emails to many families...nothing solid was set for January. The days rolled by and I really felt that the Lord must not have anyone in mind for this month...that is until little Malachi!

Malachi was nominated through someone who has never met or knows the family except through reading their blog. They came to her mind as we were emailing back and forth and she gave me their blog info. I truly believe that if God gives you a door you walk through it so I contacted Marissa and here we are!!

So how can you help support Malachi??

First and foremost with prayer!!

PRAY- PRAY- PRAY! Write this sweet babies name down so your eyes see it frequently and pray for him throughout the day! It is the most powerful thing we can be doing!!

Spread the word!! Ask others to pray!! Bring awareness to his condition...allow God to use you as a vessel to do His work!!

Donate!! Help this family financially, by making a donation! A chipin was set up in the left sidebar. We are setting a $1000 goal this month! Can you help us meet that goal??

All donations go directly to the Sharbaugh Family. Every penny counts! Even $5 can help them with all the medical expenses! Help us raise money and copy the chipin html code and place it on your site...again, spread the word! =)

As an extra incentive, for every dollar received you will be entered into a drawing! I'll be working on the giveaway item this week, and will let you know what it is very soon!!

Go visit their blog today and catch up on little Malachi!! Take a moment to leave an encouraging word and please let them know that you are praying for their little boy!!

Have a wonderful day in Christ!
