Five Minute Friday ~ Tender



1. Write for 5 minutes flat – no editing, no over thinking, no backtracking.
2. Link back here and invite others to join in.
3. Go a little overboard encouraging the writer who linked up before you.

OK, are you ready? Give me your best five minutes on:
Tender…
GO!

Psalm 79:8
Oh, do not remember former iniquities against us!
Let Your tender mercies come speedily to meet us,
For we have been brought very low.

How often do we remember those who have wronged us instead of treating them with tenderness? I am often guilty of this with even my own children. Yet I expect them to be tender and forgiving and I expect God's tender mercy for my wrong doing.

Dear Father please forgive me for holding grudges and not being forgiving of others. Father teach me to be tender to my family and speak softly to them. I can only do this with Your help.

STOP!

Linking up through Gypsy Mama. I was actually thinking about this the other day. Praying for a tender heart with you!

Mission Statement


I would like our home to be clutter-free, inviting and peaceful. My goal is to decide which tasks I need to do or delegate each day so we can maintain a better, more organized lifestyle. My goals also include providing an environment where my children can learn to be productive and Godly people. I want my family and others to know that this house is one where they can be free to live simply, love deeply and laugh abundantly. I want to be able to invite friends over without having to clean up for three days beforehand.
