Oh Be Careful

Recently Gabriel and I were singing the song: Oh Be Careful...
Goes kinda like this...
"Oh, be careful little eyes what you see.
Oh, be careful little ears what you hear.
Oh be careful little hands what you do.
Oh be careful little feet where you go.
For the Father up above is looking down in Love....
Oh be careful da da da da da....."

As I was singing it and doing the motions, all of a sudden it just became a prayer in my heart.
It may be a children's song....but it's a good reminder for us adults too.
I want to be a daughter that makes her Heavenly Father joyful and proud when He looks down at me.

I just read the devotion over at Proverbs 31 Ministries and Zoe Elmore was talking about "Praying before Primping"....and "getting on your face before you put on your face."
Now, not all of us wear make-up necessarily every day, but it was just a good reminder for me to seriously get on my face before my Father every morning before I start my day. I'm ashamed to admit I haven't been doing so well with this. And the fruits are showing....I'm grumpier than usual...shorter temper...irritable...hubby freqently reminding me: "Honey, I'm your friend, not the enemy." Meaning: I'm barking more and it has a bite ;( Bad Laura.....

So tonite....I will repent of my sins. Be mad that I let satan have this victory for a time....but I will throw it back in his face for sure when I get on my face...figuratively and literally.

"But whoever keeps His Word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.
...because your sins are forgiven you for His name's sake"
~ 1 John 2:5-6&12 NKJV

Thank You, Heavenly Father for Your love that covers all and is unending. Thank You that the blood of Jesus washes us clean. Thank You that Your mercies are new every day and You keep no record of our wrongs. Thank You that Your strength is made perfect in our weakness and You are the true healer of all things broken and torn in our hearts. Father....I love You.
In Jesus' Holy Name...Amen.
