Happy Birthday Caleb

Happy Birthday Caleb! You are my little man and I love you very, very much. I remember the day you came into our lives. We somehow knew in our hearts that day, that you would be ours. Our special gift from God. You were only 6 weeks old and so precious. I thank God every day for your hugs and good night kisses and those special moments when you crawl into my lap and snuggle and tell me just how much you love me.

As I stood by your bedside last night watching you as you were sleeping, reality hit me at just how quickly eight years has past. You are growing up so fast. Not our baby anymore but our little man. You are getting so independent now. Doing so many things on your own without mom's or grandma's help. I am hearing more and more "I can do it myself!" Your so smart too. At open house for back to school night we were so proud to learn that you were placed in the top math class and reading class for 3rd graders. You just do me proud Caleb. I love You!!!! Happy Birthday little guy!

Love, Grandma

Thought For The Day

Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words, they become actions.
Watch your actions, they become habits.
Watch your habits, they become character;
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

"A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh." Luke 6:45

"For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:" Proverbs 23:7

"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." Romans 12:2

"Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me." Psalm 51:10

I have always heard the old saying; "You can't stop the birds from flying around over your head but you can prevent them from nesting in your hair." The same goes for thoughts that do not belong in our heads. When they enter in, rebuke them and cast them out. DO NOT allow those thoughts to build a nest within our minds to hatch into words, actions, habits, and then characters that will lead us to a destiny that we never intended to end up at.

"and the peace of God, that is surpassing all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:7 (Young's Literal Translations)

"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." Philippians 4:8

"And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful." Colossians 3:15

IF You will remember the 1st commandment and obey it to the fullest, then everything will be alright with your destiny.

"And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with ALL thy heart, and with ALL thy soul, and with ALL thy mind, and with ALL thy strength: this is the first commandment." Mark 12:30

Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words, they become actions.
Watch your actions, they become habits.
Watch your habits, they become character;
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
