Will you let your handicap keep you from the Kingdom of God

In one week the world has lost so many wonderful people. They lost the innocence of a little girl I did not have the privilege to know. We've lost two pastors.

This week I have thought long and hard about the heritage I will be leaving my daughter and future children. I've began to look harder at my faults and the example of marriage I feel my children should replicate. I am deeply in love with my husband and feel its important for it to be understood. I have begin to make it a habit to do a nightly devotion with Jay. I also speak openly about it. I think it's important for Elizabeth to hear Godly words and know that her parents pray over her and will do anything to work and protect their marriage. 

I am by no means a saint. I certainly do not claim to be. I make mistakes like anyone else. No matter the "handicap" my daughter has it will not keep her from understand my love for her, her dad, and our Lord. I recently read in a book a statement I feel I will always keep close to my heart. 

"My daughters handicap will not keep her from Gods Kingdom but my handicap could." 






So today I pray you will not let your handicap keep you from your Lord. I pray your handicap doesn't keep you from leaving your children and family a heritage of Love and godliness. 

Joshua 24:14-15

14 Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the Lord.

15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve theLord.
