“MOM, MIND YOUR BUSINESS”

That was from my wise son, Emmie, yesterday when I asked him for his perspective on a situation. And he was 100% correct. The crazy lady wanted to make an appearance, but my son perfectly reminded me to focus on that was concerning me, like my meditation book says:

“We might have much peace if we would not busy ourselves with the sayings and doings of others, and with things which do not concern us. Blessed are the simple of heart, for they shall enjoy much peace.” –The Imitation of Christ

Phew! On that note, “I’m focused, man!” I have a study date today with the boys and some friends, preparing for some crucial tests next week. But before leaving out, I had a family meeting with hubs and sons about the direction where I feel God is leading our family. We’re in legacy mode, baby! We’re not here for a long time; we’re here for a good time. And that good time for me is running my leg of the race the best I can to pass on the baton to the future generations what was passed on to me and much more!

Like I’m thrilled that my daughters are in the US right now with my 88-year-old mom. The values that she has instilled in me are seriously working, and every moment my daughters are around her, I’m happy. “Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.” – Aristotle

My girls are learning responsibility, humility, kindness, loyalty, sacrifice, gentleness, tact, time management, discipline, self-control, forgiveness, and going the extra mile in love. Yeah, baby! Super fierce kids we’re raising, all for the glory of God.

And speaking of loyalty, I want us loyal to God first and foremost, even when He asks us to do difficult things for Him:

“A person might have to suffer even when it is unfair, but if he thinks of God and stands the pain, God is pleased…if you suffer for doing good, and you are patient, then God is pleased. This is what you are called to do, because Christ suffered for you an example to follow. So you should do as he did.” 1 Peter 2:19-21

Everything is between God and us, not between us and anyone else. I want us looking to God in every moment seeking to please Him. Even if it’s unfair, we know that God’s ways with us are more than fair. He gives much more than we can even ask or imagine when we stay on the high road with Him, GOING THE EXTRA MILE IN LOVE, following His lead.

But the Spirit produces the fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. There is no law that says these things are wrong. – Galatians 5:22-23
