"...Do not long to have anything that belongs

to your neighbor..."

Deuteronomy 5:21

 

The Ten Commandments (10) - Home Sweet Home!

 

Have you ever looked at another kid's home and thought, "I wish I lived in a home like that." Do you look at their toys and want them? Maybe you have wished you look like someone else. God does not want you to think about what you do not have. We are all special to God. He knows exactly what we need. He wants you to see all of your blessings.

 

Wanting to be like someone else or have their blessings will keep our minds looking at what the world offers. We will not see what God has to offer. God wants us to see our own blessings. We can be happy when we keep our eyes on Jesus. This will bring God's peace, comfort, joy and love into our hearts. He wants us to bring His blessings to others.

 

Blessed Are You!

 

 

"Blessed are you when people make fun of you

and hurt you because of me...

`Your reward in heaven is great."

Matthew 5:11

If we know Jesus Christ as our Lord and understand what it means to be saved, we have the hope and joy in our hearts that comes from knowing God. There is no greater joy. Many people do not know about God. They make fun of our hope and joy. They can be very hurtful to God's children. They live for themselves not knowing God wants them to live for Him. God says we will see our reward in heaven. Heaven is our forever 'Home Sweet Home'!

Cami Cub lives with Gramma Cherbear in the Kid Cave. Emmi Squirrel has a nest high up in a tree. Emmi is the only one of the Critters whose home is in a tree! Joshua Jackrabbit lives in the beautiful poppy field meadow just at the edge of the forest. God has given Him a beautiful home. Liam leapfrog makes his home in the sparkling waters of the Kid Cave Pond. All of the Critters are blessed by God in different ways. They are all happy with what God has given them. Each loves their own "Home Sweet Home'.

When we do not to see all the good God does for us, we miss the calm, sweet peace that is ours because of Jesus. His resurrection gave the gift of the Holy Spirit inside of us. We should try gliding on the wings of the dove instead of desiring the soaring heights of the eagle.
