6 bible verses spoken most in our home (mostly by mum)

Have you ever heard these words at your house?

Don't fight with your siblings.
obey right now
stop complaining and do it

Well, maybe you don't at your house, but we hear things like that a lot. Mostly they go something like this (these aren't exact quotes from the bible, they are my moms words)

  • Blesses are the peacemakers
  • Do EVERYTHING without grumbling and complaining
  • A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger
  • Pride goes before a fall
  • He how loves to argue loves to argue loves sin
  • Delayed obedience is disobedience
I get annoyed with it sometimes, but when Mum feels the need to say it is probably when I need to hear it. I thank God that he gave me parents who correct me when I need correction. I love them for it! The most important thing that they have done for me is introducing me to Jesus, and teaching me most of what I know about him.

Sorry it has taken me so long to update, I will try to get back into updating more often

*ahem* The scariest thing about this post is not that those words are heard (or similar versions of them) in our house, it's that I say them *wah*

"Stop bickering" "Stop fighting with your sister/brother"

Hey JP( I did figure it our before you told me) You are aloud to say them, you are a mother. I am sure I will have to say them when I am a mother.

Charity it just wouldn't be the same with ou8r the whole emphasizes that she puts on the words.

Tamara, it is JP. Can't you tell. I will try to update more.My picture is working now. :)

Graham, :) lol! Probably. It is pretty scary how a lot of parents say the same things to correct their kids.

Ellen, me too!
