9With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. 10Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. 11Can both fresh water and salt[a] water flow from the same spring? 12My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.

let your glory be over all the earth.

He who trusts in himself is a fool,
but he who walks in wisdom is kept safe.
Proverbs 28:26 NIV
So often I listen to what I want, instead of really listening and obeying God's commands. Our decisions have consequences, but if we walk in wisdom, we will be safe. Wise decisions generally lead down a healthy path. Unwise ones...dangerous paths.

Happy Belated Father's Day!
13 As a father has compassion on his children,so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;
14 for he knows how we are formed,
he remembers that we are dust.
Psalm 103:13-14 NIV
The Lord is such an amazing Father. He looks out for us, and he takes responsibility for our well-being. Gracious and abounding in love. He disciplines us when we need it, but has compassion on us. We know he is all love and grace. He just loves us!

8If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
1 Timothy 5:8
Oh Family! We love them and we hate them. But, above all, we are family. Like it or not. We have a responsibility to care for them with the utmost tenderness and affection. When we do not, the consequences are harsh. But it does make sense. If we don't provide for our own family, then what type of person are we? We need to be kind and compassionate to one another, especially our flesh and blood.

13Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
Colossians 3:13-14 NIV
Let's face it, at one point we will get on each other's nerves. People can be annoying and rude, but we need to love them anyway. The Lord has already paid the ultimate sacrifice, and died to wipe our slate clean. We owe it to each other to do the same.

This started as a way for Stacy and I to focus our attentions on Things From Above instead of the distractions, heart aches, disappointments, and false truths the world throws our way. I hope that through our sharings, all who read will be able to come closer to understanding the fullness of God's amazing love. ~Tamara

Romans 12
Living Sacrifices1Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to Godâthis is your spiritual act of worship. 2Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will isâhis good, pleasing and perfect will.
3For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you. 4Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, 5so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. 6We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. 7If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; 8if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.
Love
9Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. 10Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. 11Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. 12Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. 13Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality.14Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. 16Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.
17Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. 18If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 19Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord. 20On the contrary: "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head." 21Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
