Hello bloggers!
I finished the book of Luke today and found the last passage to be so fulfilling that I cried. It states:
Luke 24:50-53
When He had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, He lifted up his hands and blessed them. 51While He was blessing them, He left them and was taken up into heaven. 52Then they worshiped Him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy. 53And they stayed continually at the temple, praising God.
We can only imagine what it would have been like to be there when He ascended into heaven. We can only imagine what it would be like to be blessed by Him in His presence. However, we all know exactly what it is like to worship Him with Great Joy!
Bless all whom worship Him and follow His Word!
Let me know your thoughts and feelings on this passage.

More from Luke
Luke 11:9-11 "So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 10For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
11"Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13If you then though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"
This passage I have chosen for the blob this week because I am personally struggling with it. Sometimes I struggle with giving my children what they ask for and not just what I think they deserve or need. This is much easier with my youngest because I still feel that I know what she needs and what is best for her, but the older children asks for things that I know they either don't need, should be getting for themselves at this point in their lives, or are just plain trying to take advantage. "Tough Love" is VERY hard for me, and even harder for my husband at times. I also struggle with "teaching" them a lesson, or feeling like I am depriving them of essentials needs.
For this blog....I guess all I am looking for are thoughts on the passage, advice on grown children rearing....etc. Just asking for some help! Thanks and happy blogging!
