Word Wednesday

Today is officially “Word Wednesday” otherwise known as “Hump Day.” We’ve made it half way through yet another week on the wonderful, exciting and bumpy road of motherhood. Therefore, some of us are looking for some encouraging words to make it through the rest of the week with Joy and Peace. At night before my son goes to bed, in addition to reading bible stories, I read him a passage out of Prayers That Avail Much, First Blessings for Your Child by Germaine Copeland. Mommies we have to keep our children prayed up and constantly put Gods Word in their hearts.

Sunday’s passage read, “I bless you my child, and believe that you will rely on all the energy you receive from God Himself to get along with others. You will help others with encouraging words.” As Christians, it is vitally important that we encourage one another and lift each other up. We should always live life in a peaceful manner and edify one another as brothers and sisters in Christ, “Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.” (Romans 14:19)

We all have moments of frustration and irritation, but we must not let these emotions dictate our moods and how we deal with others. No matter what we may be facing or dealing with we should always maintain a positive attitude and walk in love.

I can remember so many times in the past when I took out my personal frustrations on someone else, which is totally unfair. I would lash out at others just because I was having a bad day. I should have been lifting up my brothers and sisters instead of breaking them down.

Now I make it a point to compliment or encourage just about everyone that I come in contact with. I mean, how much energy does it really take to say something nice to another person? You never know how large of an impact this may have on them. When your children sees and hears you doing such things it’s very likely that they will start to do the same.

As parents, we should also encourage and compliment our children. There is no guarantee that they will receive this outside of the home or in the right context. Just in case no one has told you today, “You are beautiful and God loves you beyond anything that you could ever dream or imagine!”

Until our next appointed meeting time. Stay tuned for more words of encouragement and inspiration for M.O.M.’s near and far!
