Talk It Up!
A New Day For Families!
Walking In The Wisdom Of God's Love!
Talking Up God's Love!
Talk It Up! Forbearance During Hard Times!
There is bitterness and hurt in a lot of families right now. Things are tough in our country with our economy taking a nose dive! Uncertainly and economic instability creates strife and division in families. As a family, we need to grow forward with God during these hard times and be the best we can, guarding the heart of our family from bitterness.
Talk It Up! No Blame! Don’t BE-Lame!
A lot of family businesses are failing and this causes tremendous strife in families. Our enemy loves to divide families. We all must keep our roots planted in Kingdom soil and dig deeper as a family member, not looking to put blame on each other. BE Lame! Our families will be lame if we take the path of blame. The economy is failing, and we all are going to suffer, we might as well suffer as a family together, than a family split apart by blame.
Talk It Up! Family Loyalty In The Good And The Bad!
Mistakes and failure happen easily in an economy that is tanking before our eyes. Under so much stress, is it possible to be right 100 percent of the time? In our family lives more than ever we need to be able to bear with each other, undergird each other with loyalty and unconditional love. Our humanity is never faultless and now with our family in uncharted waters with what is happening in our country, we need to be even more forbearing with each other. We must love each other in both the better and the worse times of life.
Talk It Up! Enduring Family Love Through Trusting God!
There are seasons of time where the waters get rough in family life and you don’t know how to navigate and you chart the course and you go slightly off line due to the choppy seas. This is a season of time none of us know how to charter through without the help of God. We must stop back-biting each other in our families, bind together in the love of God and be one in Christ Jesus. God is our Way-Maker! God has not left us during this stressful season of time. But if we don’t stop back-biting each other during this era of high stress on families, then the enemy will devour our family!
Talk It Up! Families Fighting To Stand Together With God!
Our families are fighting to stay afloat, yet the fight is not against each other. It is unprecedented what is happening in the economy of our country. Now is a time to cling tightly to God with all our strength and hope in Him and as a family, we need to get stronger as a unit. Blame- Bitterness- Backbiting is a three strand whip designed by our enemy to tear us to pieces. But God in our three strand cord of Us, God and Family can not be easily broken. Stand With God, Stand Together As A Family!
Talk It Up! Families Believing In God- Letting God Be Enough!
God is the only one Who can provide and take care of our needs from day to day, no one else can do it like He can! We can’t blame one person for what is happening to our family or the trials our family is growing through. We must let God Be Enough! We must trust God completely! He will provide for our needs - He always has. This season of time is no different. God loves our families! He will take care of us!
Talk It Up! God Is Always Being, Always The Advocate For Our Family!
We fight among each other because the ship is going down, yet if it is God’s Sovereign Will for the ship to go down, then He has a plan that is better. If the ship goes down, God is in the water too, He is with us moment to moment. There is not one moment that He is not at the center of our family, with us and for us. If the ship goes down and our family ends up in the water, then we will be all together, helping each other stay afloat and encouraging each other. Or we could drown each other, by weights of bitterness, blame and personal judgment. Which will it be?
Talk It Up! Our God Is Enough! Infinitely So!
I am not sure our family ship is going to stay afloat through this storm, whether we will survive the economy whirlwind that has hit our nation, but if our ship goes down, I want to be in the water with my family, all of us together helping each other stay afloat and encouraging each other, not drowning each other in blame and bitterness. I do know that in the middle of God’s Sovereign Will, there is a life-saver called Infinite Love and God will calm this storm, pluck us up out of the sea and deliver us safely on shore with His provision to keep us, rebuild us and restore us better than new. Let God Be Enough! Because He Simply-Significantly Is! Infinitely So!
A New Day For Families!
Saturated In The Love Of God!
Talk It Up!
Love Is A Fruit In Season At All Times,
And Within Reach Of Every Hand.

Response To God’s Love= Love Each Other!
1 John 4:9-11
God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. 10 This is real love–not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. 11 Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other.

Love One Another Deeply, As Christ Loves You Deeply!
1 Peter 1:18-25
Your life is a journey you must travel with a deep consciousness of God. It cost God plenty to get you out of that dead-end, empty-headed life you grew up in. He paid with Christ's sacred blood, you know. He died like an unblemished, sacrificial lamb. And this was no afterthought. Even though it has only lately–at the end of the ages–become public knowledge, God always knew he was going to do this for you. It's because of this sacrificed Messiah, whom God then raised from the dead and glorified, that you trust God, that you know you have a future in God. 22-25Now that you've cleaned up your lives by following the truth, love one another as if your lives depended on it. Your new life is not like your old life. Your old birth came from mortal sperm; your new birth comes from God's living Word. Just think: a life conceived by God himself! That's why the prophet said, The old life is a grass life, its beauty as short-lived as wildflowers; Grass dries up, flowers droop, God's Word goes on and on forever. This is the Word that conceived the new life in you.

Honour and glory are indeed due to God and to Him alone, but He will accept neither of them if they be not preserved in the honey of love. Love is sufficient of itself; it pleases by itself and on its own account. Love seeks no cause beyond itself and no fruit. It is its own fruit, its own enjoyment. I love because I love; I love that I may love. Love is a great thing provided it recurs to its beginning, returns to its origin, and draws always from that Fountain which is perpetually in flood. Of all the feelings and affections of the soul, love is the only one by which the creature, though not on equal terms, is able to respond to the Creator and to repay what it has received from Him. For when God loves us He desires nothing but to be loved. He loves for no other reason, indeed, than that He may be loved, knowing that by their love itself those who love Him are blessed.
Quote By: Bernard of Clairvaux
Genuine Love Is A Love That Serves Others Love!
1 Peter 4:9-10
Practice hospitality to one another (those of the household of faith). [Be hospitable, be a lover of strangers, with brotherly affection for the unknown guests, the foreigners, the poor, and all others who come your way who are of Christ's body.] And [in each instance] do it ungrudgingly (cordially and graciously, without complaining but as representing Him). 10 As each of you has received a gift (a particular spiritual talent, a gracious divine endowment), employ it for one another as [befits] good trustees of God's many-sided grace [faithful stewards of the [a]extremely diverse powers and gifts granted to Christians by unmerited favor].
