Our Guinea pig died

We had fostered two Guinea pig a month ago, my kids named them Oreo and Cookie. They fell in love, and we were planning to adopt them when Oreo got sick Monday morning, and we called Aardvark vet hospital. They were amazing, the  Dr. told us to meet her in the hospital even they were closed because of the Labor Day. We left Oreo in the hospital, and the Dr. wanted to keep him for the night. Anyway, we found out he died! And my kids was devastated and cried! I was hurt as well, but I needed to comfort them. The kids are so precious! They want know how Cookie feels being lonely.
I love the Aardvark Hospital, they have cats, dogs, Guinea pigs, and rabbits. You can adopt or foster, you can even go there just look. Just remember you end up bringing one kitten home, they are just adorable!

Blessings

Jabez means  sorrowful. His mother named him Jabez, because of the pain she had in birthing him.
So many of us limit God by saying, I don't deserve that and I failed before God. And others from experience we think it is just life, some are rich and some are poor. So, you are settled where you are. I want encourage you, God wants to bless you.

Psalm 115:14

 May the LORD cause you to flourish,
   both you and your children.

1 Chronicles 4:10

 Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted his request.

Honor

  Happy Labor Day!!

Labor Day is a United States federal holiday.

The first big Labor Day in the United States was observed on September 5, 1882, by the Central Labor union of New York. It was first proposed by  Peter J. McGuire of the American Federation of Labor in May 1882.

Oregon was the first state to make it a holiday in 1887. By the time it became a federal holiday in 1894, thirty states officially celebrated Labor Day. Following the deaths of a number of workers at the hands of  the U.S military U.S Marshals during the  Pullman Strike, President  Grover Cleveland reconciled with the labor movement. Fearing further conflict, legislation making Labor Day a national holiday was rushed through Congress unanimously and signed into law a mere six days after the end of the strike. The September date originally chosen by the CLU of New York and observed by many of the nation's trade unions for the past several years was selected rather than the more widespread  International Worker's Day because Cleveland was concerned that observance of the latter would stir up negative emotions linked to the Haymarket Affair, which it had been observed to commemorate. All U.S. states, the  District of Columbia, and the territories have made it a statutory holiday.
I know each one of has done some sacrifice whether to our children, parents, community or country. You might be saying, no one notice. First of all, God notices every good work you put in many lives and I promise you one day when you look back you will see and reap the harvest for all the year you saw the seed.
There is not a day I haven't miss my siblings and my mother.  My sister just had a baby and I only had a chance to talk to her on the phone. Only God know how much I miss my siblings, but my kids needs me and the amount of money I will pay for the flight cost's so much. I have kids now, God has trusted me to nurture them and provide for them. We discuss with my kids that sacrifice is necessary. Jesus sacrifice his own life for us, and the Labor Day is one of many sacrifice that we appreciate many hero's in our lives. I hope this encourages you.

Fantastic party

Jacob wanted a sleepover party today. The kids had a blast! They played a kickball, eating game, and WII games. I haven't seen anyone argue about anything. Six boys love each other company, and my daughter and I watching on the side. I kind of feel bad how much sugar they had including the soda. I decided to hide the soda after a cup or more and give them water and lemonade. It is only 9:30pm, and I am getting tired. I am going to sit and have chamomile tea after I post this. I am very thankful for the patient, energy and for providing everything including wonderful friends.

Men of Great character

Many mothers feel overwhelmed raising sons. The bible tells us they were given the dominion, at the same time they also need to learn humility. They need to forgive and ask forgiveness. In our society we give them the things they need, but we fear to teach them too much. I know when I teach my kids, it doesn't seem they are listening, but they do. Teach them to love God, to keep his commandments and to depend on him at all time. We can't raise kids that love God, and be ignorant, they need to use common sense. We need them to be men of great character. There are many kids out there need  wise and loving person to talk to, we want our son's to be the light, to minister, to reach out. They don't need to be cool, they need to be reachable by other's. To be a listeners and give advice to. And pray for them daily. Beleive me, it is not easy specially when there is no godly man in the house. But, don't be discourage, you have the holy spirit to teach them. Praise God!

 "Sons are a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from Him." Psalm 127:3.

Make sure your kids stand firm in his word. If they know who they are they won't fall.

"Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm."
— Abraham Lincoln

My decison today.............

This morning God ministered to me Isaiah 60 for an hour. It continue to speak to me. Rise and shine!  All the nation will come to your light, that is Christ's light. When we have intimacy with Christ, we carry his light. How we walk today must glorify God.  If I do this or that would God's name be magnified on my decision? My decision today decides how my future will look like. The cause from our suffering, we might come to his truth and other's will see God's light in us. I know some believer's will say,it is for Israel. No, it is talking about Christ's light.  Ask the holy spirit, He will reveal to you. There are other passages in Isaiah 44, is talking about both Israel and Jesus. Isaiah 42,53, the suffering servant  is talking about Christ. We must not act like the world, we can learn to suffer like Christ did to glorify God! When we are willing to serve God and be obedience to his truth even when we are rejected by men kind, we are glorifying God.

Sabbath Shalom!
