The Making Of Us
Read: Hebrews 12:1-11
Whom the Lord loves He chastens, and scourges every son whom He receives. —Hebrews 12:6
Bible In One Year: Job 1-2; Acts 7:22-43
When my husband was a child, his mother sometimes scolded and disciplined him for disobeying her. During one such scolding he said to her imploringly, "You must be nice to your little boy!" His words touched her tender heart. But because she loved him, she continued his discipline and training. Years later as a missionary, Bill was grateful for her tough love, for it was the making of him.
God also disciplines and trains His erring sons and daughters. He may do so directly (1 Corinthians 11:29-32), or He may allow life's hardships to melt us, mold us, and make us more like Jesus. In Hebrews 12:6, we're assured that "whom the Lord loves He chastens." Yet God's chastening doesn't feel very loving. Sometimes we even think it's ruining us. But God's discipline is the very thing that will save us from the ruin of our selfish, stubborn ways.
Although we're unlikely to enjoy God's discipline, we're told that it trains us for right and holy living (vv.7-11). Rather than resisting God's correction, we can yield to Him, confident that His goal is our spiritual growth. Whatever our circumstances, God knows the seriousness of our difficulties and is working powerfully behind the scenes for our good.
His tough love is the making of us. —Joanie Yoder
God's loving hand of discipline
May give us little rest;
His only purpose is our good —
He wants for us what's best. —D. De Haan
God's discipline is designed to make us like His Son.

Goodmorning Russ and Gail and Meekie. The coffee is especially appreciated this morning!
It's already a "Murphy's Law" kind of day...(as I was trying to post this morning...heard water running in the adjoining bathroom...the sink was backed up from water from a dehumidifer we were using to dry out carpeting from an adjoining room that was drenched from a leaky water softener that happened while we were out of town this weekend) YIKES!!!! Fortunately that bathroom is tile vs. carpeting. Not a fun week at the Giz household!!!!
BUT the good news is, had I not been posting the thread today...I would have been at work and would have had a real mess on my hands when I got home...Plus the sun is shining...and yes...life is good...except need to check out and mop up a bunch of water. At least I'll have a very clean floor :o)

Great job on the illustration Dutchess, I know this wasn't an easy one to illustrate.
Your essay is hilarious John! Loved the way you weaved the Clinton quotes throughout the article.
One of the most obvious moments for me that al Qaeda is involved with Iraq was when they recently blew up those trains in Spain because of Spain's involvement in the Iraq War. Think the media missed making that very obvious connection.

'Morning Aeonaut. Cute picture today! Did more touch and go's the other day. Finally starting to "get the touch" of using both speed and "pitch" All those early lessons when I didn't know what the heck I was doing and why (i.e. slow flight, stalls etc.) are really making sense.
Just heard about a fatal Piper crash in Fla. Very sad, prayers for the families.

More plumbing problems! Glad you were home and were able to get on top of it before it caused water damage throughout the house.
