In the Word on Wednesday: 2 Corinthians 5:17

Free printable scripture handwriting practice sheets from www.flandersfamily.info

Don’t you love springtime? All the dead leaves of winter have been swept away, the lawn scalped, the flowerbeds cleaned out, and every day new signs of life appear.

New baby birds chirp in their nests, young squirrels scamper about the yard, bulbs that have remained dormant underground for months burst forth with vibrant green leaves.

When spring arrives, there is no holding all that life and vitality back!

Azaleas

The same thing should be true of us as Christians. Christ came that we “might have life and have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10) The life and vitality we have in Him should be obvious to all who know us: there should be no holding it back.

Think about a caterpillar changing into a butterfly — in one sense, he’s the same little bug, yet at the same time, his entire being has been radically transformed and scarcely resembles what he was before the metamorphosis.

And there is absolutely no hiding the fact that this change has taken place.

Butterfly

That is the mental image I get when I read 2 Corinthians 5:17:

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”

If we are “in Christ,” we are changed. Transformed. Completely remade.

And there should be no hiding the fact that this change has taken place.

The verse can be found in the third set of our Scripture Memory Flashcards:

Instagram post 2185654846572903875_212311080 A couple of these guys were ready to quit choir just two or three weeks in. I insisted they stick with it for one full semester and told them if they still wanted out after that, I wouldn’t sign them back up in the spring. .
By concert week, they were all in agreement. They LOVE choir and want to keep singing. Their change of heart makes me so happy. .
I don’t necessarily believe we need to finish everything we start. Sometimes I get two chapters into a book or 10 minutes into a movie and realize I’d be better off devoting my time to something different. I don’t have a problem with shelving the book in favor of another or walking out of the theater in search of more wholesome entertainment. .
But quitting something just because it is challenging? Because it is hard? Because it doesn’t come easily? That’s another thing entirely. .
If we give up (or let our kids give up) every time the going gets tough, we will miss out on many of life’s greatest blessings. .
And, speaking of blessings, hearing the beautiful voices of these seven young people and all their friends lifted in song at their concert last Friday night was a blessing that warmed my heart to its very roots.

Instagram post 2145384025925487322_212311080 I throughly enjoyed reading Lisa Jacobson’s 100 Words of Affirmation Your Husband Needs to Hear. It was a good reminder of the power every wife has been given to encourage and build up her husband with her words when she chooses them wisely and seasons them with grace and gratitude. her husband, Matt Jacobson, has written a companion book for husbands. The pair would make a nice project to work through as a couple. #100wordsofaffirmation
Instagram post 2124304389502846017_212311080 These two just celebrated their 3-month anniversary yesterday and wanted to spend it on a double date with Mom and Dad. Unfortunately, I only found out about their initiation after I woke up from a nap and learned Doug turned them down, because I was asleep and needed my rest. 😢#raincheck #prettyplease #loveyou #newlyweds

Instagram post 2120779130585694984_212311080 Grayson is such a goofball, but he comes by it honestly. He is wearing almost the exact expression my husband used to assume every time I tried to take his photo back when we were dating. Do you have relatives with a penchant for photobombing family pictures?#funnyface #familypics
Instagram post 2120660504259905797_212311080 I fell in love with the characters in this book, especially Ally. A young girl who struggles with dyslexia, Ali feels stupid until a new teacher opens her eyes to her unique strengths.
As a homeschool mom, I found the teacher’s example inspiring. Isn’t that what we want for all our children? For them to recognize and appreciate the wonderfully diverse gifts God has given each one and to develop those gifts to their fullest potential?FISH IN A TREE affirms what my parenting experience has demonstrated time and again: Great minds don’t all think alike.#backtoschool #booksarebrainfood #flandersfamilyreads
