march WORD to live by...

2 timothy 4:2
"preach the word; be prepared in and out of season;
correct rebuke and encourage-
with great patience and careful instruction."
be mindful of every word that comes out of my mouth each day,
especially as i discipline, may it always be enough but not too much.

romans 12:9
"don't just pretend to love others. really love them.
hate what is wrong, hold tightly to what is good."
a reminder to purposefully love what is good,
and never simply go through the motions of loving those around me.

Thanks for sharing these Annalee! I think I'm going to take that first one and put it up somewhere I can see it often. I need to be more prayerful about my discipline too. Thanks for the encouragement sweet friend!
