How many of us remember shopping with our Mom?
Whether it was at the grocery store or buying shoes,
you know there were some dos and don'ts involved!
Careful consideration was given to purchases -
loyalties were formed!
Certain milk was better than others
and deemed the "only" milk for our home...
(and if you know my family -
you know I'm talking "Borden WHOLE Milk" people!)
Some shoes were only to be purchased
at a certain department store
and after all - if my momma's feet were to be
standing in those shoes all day - they better be comfy!
Now I share these things not to sound elitist
or have a "better-than-you" posture, but to share
how choosy we can all be about our personal preferences
and perhaps invite you to embrace and teach a
new "Brand Loyalty" to those you love...
What if over the next few months, you were diligent
to choose to teach your loved ones the "Brand Loyalty"
of choosing God - knowing God - - -
I mean really KNOWING Him!
Not just knowing of Him... I'm suggesting
learning more about Him by studying scripture,
loving God with your whole heart and soul,
serving Him where HE invites you to share
His care and concern for others
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY - - -
CHOOSING HIM among all
the distractions and chaos
the world throws our way each day.
I believe that God is calling every one of His children
to share more than ever His plan for eternal life
with everyone we meet....
Teach scripture that will
remind your children:
where the real priorities lie,
allow them to stand tall in times of trial,
help them in times of despair,
celebrate in times of joy
and worship the One
whose love is SO Great
that He gave His Only Son.
Teach your loved ones
that only in THE ONE
is their hope found.
Can you think of anything better than creating
a new "Brand Loyalty" with the Savior?
I certainly can't!
