When
one kid is happy another is ticked.
For
parents, have you experienced this?
My wife
and I were talking last night how hard it is for all three of our kids to be
happy at the same time.
It
seems like at least one of them is mad about something.
When
they are fighting just like when I was a kid, one will get mad at the other one
and start yelling.
Shut up
or leave me alone is soon to come.
I
remember doing it as a kid and now I see my own kids do it.
Telling
each other to shut up.
We try
to ask them to say it a different way, but it still comes out with the same
tone and attitude.
Sometimes
the quietness afterwards helps out and other times it does not.
We like
to quiet someone else up when they don’t speak about something we like.
We are
filled with a world that either loves or hates Tim Tebow.
I have
heard people complain about him talking about faith.
This is
what Tebow said in an article about his faith…
“If
your’re married, and you really love your wife, is it good enough to only say
to your wife ‘I love her’ the day you get married? Or should you tell her every
single day when you wake up and every opportunity?”
He
follows up by saying this…
“My
relationship with Jesus Christ is the most important thing in my life. So any time I get an opportunity to tell him
that I love him or given an opportunity to shout him out on national TV, I’m
gonna take that opportunity. And so I
look at it as a relationship that I have with Him that I want to give Him the
honor and glory anytime I have the opportunity.”
You
talk about what you love?
What
does your Facebook say about you today?
If you
look back at what you share, what your status updates say and how you comment
to other people, what would people say about you?
Tebow
wants the world to know how important Jesus is to him.
Is he
important to you?
Or is
he someone you just don’t want talked about?
In Acts
chapter 4, Peter and John just healed the crippled man and now found themselves
having to answer to the Supreme Court of religion.
They answered
very boldly in Acts 4:12…
“Salvation
is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men
by which we must be saved.”
When
the religious leaders got together to talk about the situation, they found out
these were normal men speaking at a scholarly level.
They
did a miracle and couldn’t prove otherwise.
But
they did not want the message of Jesus to spread.
They
went back to Peter and John and told them to shut up.
Peter
and John spoke boldly in verse 19-20…
“Judge
for yourselves whether it is right in God’s sight to obey you rather than
God. For we cannot help speaking about
what we have seen and heard.”
The
Supreme Court like figures let them go, but threatened them again not to mention
the name of Jesus.
Jesus
has done so much my life that I cannot deny.
I can
honestly say I don’t think I would be married today if it wasn’t for Jesus in
my life.
What do
you speak up about?
What do
you stay silent about?
When
you look at Facebook and look at what you have talked about, you can see what
is important to you?
Is
there something you want to be talking about more?
Is
there something you need to be talking about less?
Have a
great day.
