When my beloved first left for deployment,I signed us up for No Greater Joy's offer for deployed military families.What a blessing it was to receive this in the mail today...
They also send a box to the deployed spouse!If you know of any military families with deployed loved ones,this is a wonderful free offer.Here is a link to their offer...No Greater Joy's Support Our Troops OfferJust as a disclaimer: I do not necessarily agree with the Pearl's 100%, however, I do appreciate much of what they have to say and I greatly appreciate their ministry. I have found much of their material very challenging and encouraging. But, as with all things, read their material with prayer and discernment.

My heart was blessed this morning when my son shared what he read during his quiet time with God.
He shared with me that he read in Matthew 4 about how the devil tried to tempt Jesus and how Jesus didn't give into temptation.
We discussed how Jesus responded to the devil using Scripture and how powerful God's Word is to fight off temptation.
He shared how he really liked that chapter,
how he never really thought about it that way,
and was glad he learned that this morning.
Later, as he was praying over lunch, he asked the Lord to help him
fight off temptation and to obey.
He asked Him to help him be more like Jesus.
May that always be our prayer, too.
"And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read,
Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise"?
~ Matthew 21:16
"But Jesus said, Suffer little children,
and forbid them not, to come unto me:
for of such is the kingdom of heaven."~ Matthew 19:14
"Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child,
the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven."~ Matthew 18:4
"He must increase, but I must decrease." ~ John 3:30
