We are told from God to have a meek spirit, but what does that really mean? Like the word "submission" I believe that we have a misunderstanding of what this word really means, so here is a simple study for us to ponder on,,,,,1. Humble patient or submissive, as under provocation from others. 2. Overly patient or submissive; tame. 3. Gentle; kind, meek, soft, mild, modest, long-suffering, enduring, modest, tolerant, persevering, understanding, unhurried.
Synonyms would be: humbleness, resignation, surrender, forbearance, yielding, docility;unassuming, understanding
In today's world, ladies are encourage to be verbal, flashy and unyielding. We grow up to be wives and mothers and wonder why there is so much anger and lack of peace in our lives. I truly believe that searching the Bible and finding out what God expects of us is the only way to find real happiness in our lives,,,,despite the world around us! I know that I can see many examples in the words above that remind me of areas I need to pay extra attention to.
How patient and soft did I speak to my children? How submissive and yielding am I to my Husbands needs? Did I preserver in my chores? Let us remind one another to pray to God for help in these areas! ~xo~
A little bit about us and how God has touched our life. XOXO

Glorify God
I thought I would share the Bible lesson we are studying in our home education. I think this verse is a wonderful study, for all ages and sex. (but since I am female and am training mostly female- I will focus my thoughts around the woman;-) I would love to have ANY comments. ~xo~
1Corinthians 6 (King James Bible)
6:11...but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. (19) Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? (20) For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
We listed together ways we can show glory to God through "our body and spirit". If these belong to God, and God in in us, can others tell? For my children the challenge is having a God spirit while playing with each other and doing task around the house. For me, the challenge is to show God even at times that I am frustrated and tired. (with children and husband- plus when dealing with people outside of my home!)
19-Know that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, and not my own?
There are so many ways this can be applied. The foods we eat, the overall health of the body, how we dress, how we look.
Some think that it is silly to worry about the ingredient in our food and medicines. But if your body is a temple and God's temple at that, isn't it important what you but in it?
And how about how we dress and fix our hair and makeup? Shouldn't we dress in a way that God would be pleased by? Would we dress sexy (or sloppy) if God was coming for dinner? Would we put so much makeup on (which goes back to the ingredient topic, also) and how would we fix our hair, if it was God we were trying to please?
I think we should make ways to remind ourselves when we are getting dressed, that we are dresses God's temple. And when we are fixing meals,(or taking med.) that we are putting this for storage in God's temple. I know that I need to be reminded of this daily!
**and it doesn't stop there. How about what we are learning? What we are reading and listening to. If all these things are building a temple that is for God's use, than how strong are me making it? Is it really as harmful as we think?

Watch
8-For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles; these are the beginnings of sorrows.
12-Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.
33-Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
34-For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.
35-Watch ye therefor: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
36-Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
37-And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
Mark 13
