 If I had a remembrance book, I would mark down how it was when we left our little house in the big woods to go west to Indian Territory. We had to go, Pa said, because so many people had come to live in the big woods, there wasn't enough game anymore for him to hunt and he feared we might go hungry. Ma said we might never again see Grandma and Grandpa, or Aunt Docia and Aunt Ruby and Uncle George. Though it made me sad, I still thought it a fine thing to go where there had never been a road before. We'd go where the land was more bountiful, he said, and he sold our house and land and cow, and packed whatever would fit in the wagon. I was glad Pa took his fiddle, for it makes a joysome sound. Mary was afraid to go, but I knew nothing bad could happen as long as we had Pa and Jack. Jack is my best and truest friend and Pa says there has never been a better watchdog. I knew there would be rivers to cross and hills to climb, and I was glad, for this is a fair land and I rejoiced that I would see it.

Control Your Emotions

Proverbs 25:28 He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.

Colossians 3:5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

1 Corinthians 9:27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

Proverbs 15:1 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.

Ecclesiasticus 20:2 It is much better to reprove, than to be angry secretly and he that confesseth his fault shall be preserved from hurt.

Ecclesiasticus 28:1-2 He that revengeth shall find vengeance from the Lord, and he will surely keep his sins in remembrance. Forgive thy neighbour the hurt that he hath done unto thee, so shall thy sins also be forgiven when thou prayest.

Matthew 5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

It's not a sin to be angry. It's when your anger causes you to break God's laws is when it's sin.

"Let not the sun go down on your wrath."

Just means don't be angry all day That opens a door to you holding grudges aganist your neighbor, which is a sin. (Leviticus 19:18).

“I pray in words. I pray in poems. I want to learn to pray through breathing, through dreams and sleeplessness, through love and renunciation.”

The Christian husband displays what he thinks of Christ by the way he treats his wife

— John MacArthur

[artsymumof5]

The deepest level of worship is praising GOD in spite of the pain, thanking GOD during the trials, trusting Him when we're tempted to lose hope, and loving Him when He seems so distant and far away. At my lowest, GOD is my hope. At my darkest, GOD is my light. At my weakest, GOD is my strength. At my saddest, GOD is my comforter.

“When Christ overtakes a woman’s life, and transforms her from the inside out, she becomes truly feminine - a picture of elegance, grace and loveliness blended with sacrificial devotion to her king.”

What is most important in heaven is not the streets of gold, nor the gates of pearl. The greatest gain of being in heaven is not even to be reunited with loved ones. The greatest profit will be to stand before Christ and behold him as he is. The glory of heaven is found in Jesus Christ himself.
