Canada, Schman-ada
So, I'm sure you are wondering about Jeremy. Haven't had a post on him in awhile. It has been a year now that he has been, basically, living in Canada, working at a Casting Plant there for Chrysler.
We have all grown quite weary of Daddy being gone so much. "He's done his tour of duty and now it's time to come home!", we say. You see, that's just it! IF he was called to armed forces duty in the US, he would have a departure date and, Lord willing, a return date. This has been the problem. We didn't know he would be called to duty...and don't know his return date.
So,Christians, remember, we HAVE been called to "duty". We have already begun our departure...we don't know our return date...BUT it IS coming...SOON! Are you ready? We are at war with things not of this world. A spiritual warfare that is very real. Arm yourself. Put on the WHOLE Armor of God.
Ephesians 6:10-19...
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; 17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, 19 and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel,
Keep praying that Jeremy is "armed". Pray that I may be "armed". Pray that I can guide the kids to be "armed"... not just with part of the armor...ALL of it.
Pray...Pray...Pray
So...Canada-Schman-nada..."As a prisoner of the Lord, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received."
