Tip of the Day 3/27/12

All of the winter dirt we are chasing away has made it to our floors and carpet. Let's take some time to really clean all the dirt out of the corners and under the furniture where it has gathered. Sweep, vacuum, mop (I prefer to do it on my hands and knees to get into the corners), move the furniture to get along the edges of walls, and sweep it all away. The trick is keeping it under control and you can learn from Chicagoans for this, take your shoes off when you come in the house. The less you track in the less there is to sweep out.

Word for Today, Promises: I don't like it when someone does not follow through on a promise they have made and even more I do not like when I can't keep a promise I have made. The Bible tells us it is better not to make a vow rather than make one and break it. We have been singing a song that says, "Remember Your people, remember Your children, remember Your promise, O God." God doesn't forget the promises He has made to us, we cry out because in our humanness we need to remind ourselves that He never lies or breaks His promises, He will never forsake us. What promises of God do you need to remember today? "It is impossible for God to lie. All the promises of God are Yes, and in Him Amen (so be it), to the glory of God through us."
