"But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers/sisters, LOVED BY THE LORD because from the BEGINNING God CHOSE YOU to be SAVED through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through BELIEF IN THE TRUTH. He called YOU to this through our gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. So then, brothers/sisters, STAND FIRM and HOLD TO THE TEACHINGS we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter. May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who LOVED US and by his grace gave us ETERNAL ENCOURAGEMENT and GOOD HOPE, encourage YOUR HEARTS and STRENGTHEN you in every good deed and word...................... May the Lord direct your hearts into God's love and Christ's perseverance.......and as for you brothers/SISTERS, NEVER TIRE OF DOING WHAT IS RIGHT." 2 Thessalonians 2:13-17, 3:5, and 3:13 As we mother our children today may we think about how much God loves us and them and may we think about How Jesus persevered and "for the joy set before him endured the cross." Keep the joy set before you of reaping a harvest someday of all you have poured into your children. May we "never tire of doing what is right." Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, help us God. Blessings from Bombadil.
