Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, for I know that through your prayers and the help given by the Spirit of Jesus Christ, what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance. I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. FOR TO ME, TO LIVE IF CHRIST AND TO DIE IS GAIN. If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall i choose? I do not know! I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body. Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith, so that through my being with you again your joy in Christ Jesus will overflow on account of me.

Being an Example

So in my earlier post I had explained how Crazy yesterday was well, yesterday morning when the boys were watching cartoons I was attempting to do my morning bible study...Well Jax is so curious he said can I read that book with you? to which I responded, absolutley, I cannot deny that to that sweet little smile and twinkling blue eyes...so he said, "Manny (thats what he calls me, he can't say Mary), can you read me your book?" I said, "Jax, this is my Bible" So I tried to find some bible stories he might know or want to hear about...well there are not pictures so he wasn't thrilled so I got online and tried to look on You Tube for some childrens bible stories I found Jonah but thats when his Choc Milk, (Jax Crack) kicked in...So that was put on hold. So this morning I walked in and had my purse and was looking in my purse and Jax said, "Manny, you getting your Bible"....That was so cool I thought about it and realized that I set an example and he will always know that I have the bible and when he gets older and learns the significance of the Bible he will know that I believed those things and tried teaching him about those...To clarify Jax is raised by very good parents and has a wonderful family who believes in the Lord and he is VERY exposed to that life style so I am not the first to show him the Bible but it does make me feel good that he knows that I have my Bible with me.

    Manny this almost brought tears to my eyes! I love my Jack (and Knox) so much and I'm glad they have a wonderful example like you to be with them during the day. Oh, and I'm cracking up that you said chocolate milk is Jack's crack. LOL. It's so true!
