dedicated to the One i love

"Know that the Lord, He is God! It is He who made us, and we are His; we are his people, and the sheep of His pasture." Psalm 100:3

Summer where did it go?  Whether busy at home or traveling with family or friends, it evaporated like mist on a sizzling day.

I spent most of my days with my grands.  It was SO grand, i had no energy left to write or read, but i don't regret a single second of it.  One of my favorite visits was witnessing their dedication at church.  To celebrate the day i wanted a gift for them.  For  Allie it was easy, a cross necklace.  But for Stetson, i was stumped.  After days of searching i found the perfect gift, a bike helmet.

I sense your raised eyebrows, so let me explain.  At one, he's starting to enjoy ride toys, and i felt getting use to a helmet would be helpful.  Yet, to me, it represented the need for protection in two ways... protection for physical safety with ride toys and also protection for his mind from worldly forces by wearing a helmet of salvation.

For you, (as believers) are all children of light, children of the day.....  and since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation

Whatever you are wearing today, be sure to include your breastplate and helmet.  Believe and know God will cover and see us through all circumstances we encounter.  Being  dedicated to the One we love, we have His peace because victory in Him is guaranteed. 

we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live, love and do like we believe it,
veneal
