Praise God! My husband and I are still kneeling daily before our Lord and Savior, asking Him to heal us, to guide us, to show us more about His power and strength!
My husband used to sleep in every single morning...well, except on days he was going hunting! He used to staggar out of bed bleary-eyed and complaining about this and that.
Not anymore! He's up and at-'em before dawn, making hot coffee and preparing for our prayer time and scripture reading. He brings me a steaming hot cup of coffee nearly every morning now...usually with whipped cream on top! And I stumble downstairs into the dimly lit kitchen where we study at the table. And my husband has already turned on the Christian music station, so that plays softly in the background.
You should see our kitchen table when we are studying the Bible! We have his grandmother's bible, a King James Version, before us...we have his Quest Bible open above that...and I have my own New King James bible open before me. And above all of these bibles is a Study Guide that helps us figure out exactly what certain passages mean.
We sit side by side, holding hands and snuggled up while reading. I have my bedhead every morning, and he has his coffee breath every morning. No matter!
We can sometimes make it all the way through our reading before the toddler wakes up and calls us to come and get her from her bed. Those times that we don't, we bring her down with us, snuggle her onto our laps where she enjoys her morning milk bottle while we conclude our study and begin our days.
The other morning, as I was sneaking out of my bed real quietly so I wouldn't wake the children, I heard my toddler call out: "You and Daddy gonna go study that Bible?" Even my two year old has seen some MAJOR changes in our home!
We are still reading in Ezekiel. We've also added Song of Solomon.
Today's scripture comes from Ezekiel 11:19-20:
"I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh. Then they will follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. They will be my people and I will be their God."
