Sunday, July 8th - Genesis 29:16-35, 30:9-21

Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Genesis 29:16-35, 30:9-21 ~ Leah wasn't pretty; she wasn't loved - buy God gifted her to be the mother of 7.  She focused on what she didn't have - Do you?

Saturday, July 7th - Genesis 29 - 30:24

Good Morning!

We are returning to Bloomington today and so I have a little bit of a drive, but it has been a great week!  I love spending time with my family and enjoying the wonderful creation God has made here in Missouri.  Wow! 
Please pray for our trip back as we travel and I hope to see y'all tomorrow at church!

Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Genesis 29-30:24 ~ "Times were so different" for Rachel and Leah - right?  No; some women still struggle with their kids' dad having kids with other women

The Bible, God's Words is true for today, just as it was 100 years ago, 500 years ago, 1000 years ago.  God knows what we are going through and He is there to guide us through whatever comes our way.  Even through our jealousy and feelings of low self-worth.  He IS beside you and willing to help, but you have to take His Hand and say, "I am yours and I will follow!"

Have a great day!

Friday, July 6th - Genesis 27:41-28:5

Good Morning!
It's going to be a great day!  We are going as a family to breakfast and enjoy God's creation and also some good food at a favorite restaurant!  :o)  My son is particularly looking forward to breakfast.  This is our last day down here on the Lake and we are going to enjoy every minute!  :o)

Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Genesis 27:41-28:5 ~ The result of Rebekah telling her son to lie and cheat?  Most likely, she never saw him again.  Guide your children to be Godly.

There may be some tough times, but we must do our best to raise our children in the ways of God.  Share with them in daily devotions, pray with them and live by example!

Have a great day!

Thursday, July 5th - Genesis 27

Good Morning!

Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries:  Genesis 27 ~ A mom encouraging her child to cheat and lie = ugly!  God can redeem all, but in the short run, Rebekah's advice almost got Jacob killed.

Wednesday, July 4th - Happy Independence Day!!

Happy 4th of July - Independence Day!!!

Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Genesis 26:34-35 ~ Rebekah didn't like Esau's choice of pagan wives.  It's hard to watch your kids make ungodly choices.  Speaktruth; continue to love.

Friday, June 29th - Genesis 19:15-29

Good Morning!
Another hot one today!  It was 86 degrees when I took the puppy out at 5:45!  I have discovered she doesn't like the heat as she goes out and does her thing and runs right back in the house. :o)  Then she runs around the house and gets her exercise!  She is such a joy!  We just love her!

Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries:  Genesis 19:15-29 ~ Lot's wife disobeyed God's direction (17) and it cost her life.  When you disobey God's ways, don't be surprised by the consequences

God's directions were quite clear and yet Lot and his wife and daughters hesitated.  Do you think they didn't understand the urgency?  Then Lot asked to go to the next city  and not to the mountains and the angels granted that request.  When they got to the small town of Zoar, God began the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.  He destroyed everything in the two cities and on the plain by raining sulfur. 
Lot's wife did not obey God's directions and looked back.  She lost her life for disobedience. 

Disobedience brings consequences.  Ask my kids!  :o)

How will you live your day, your week, your month - your life?

Thursday, June 28th - Genesis 19:1-14

Good Morning!

It's going to be a hot one today!  Be sure to keep an eye on the kids and keep them hydrated and out of the heat as much as possible. 

Lisa's tweets: LMRMinistries: Genesis 19 ~ Lot's wife and daughters.  Lot was a good man in a very bad place.  He pleaded with God to save the town - but it was too wicked (19:1-14)
LMRMinistries:  Genesis 19:6-8 ~ Lot said WHAT?  It was so important to protect these Godly visitors - he was willing to sacrifice his daughters.  Are you that devoted?

Sodom and Gamorrah were the worst and so evil.  Lot was in a very bad situation.  He recognized the men (angels) as they entered the city and insisted that they stay with him and his family.  Lot knew what the town was capable of and wanted to protect them.  As it happened, the angels protected Lot and told him to leave the city.

Lot's decision to offer his daughters to the men that wanted to have their way with the angels, was devotion to his God.  Lot knew who these men were and He would do anything to protect them - even offer his own family.  He loved his family, but he loved his God more.
Could you do that?  How much do you love Jesus/God?

Stay cool and have a great day!
