Full Armor of God!

"Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand." Ephesians 6:13

Patrick had a bible study tonight and came home excited about Ephesians 6:10-20. I have read this chapter before but don't always pull it out when things seem to get hectic. This chapter talks about the Armor of God. How he gives us a belt of truth, a breastplate of righteousness and our feet fitted with readiness. Not to forget a shield of faith and a helmet of salvation. Armor is defined in the dictionary as protective covering, or shield. I liked verse 13 (the one at the top). I would have to agree with Patrick, this is a good chapter. Especially with everything going on in the world today. I have to keep telling myself that I have the armor of God around me.

Another reason I liked this scripture was because today we had the chance to go trick-or-treating and we went with some of our really good friends. One of Jordan's friends was a knight. How appropriate is that. His mom made his costume with a belt, breastplate, shield and helmet all included. Was it chance, well I think not. I think this is God's way of reminding me that he is everywhere. How great is a God that can remind me of his greatness and love for me in everything I do.

We will talk to everyone soon. Love ya and God Bless, Tara

p.s. The picture on top of this post was taken about 3 weeks ago when we went to the pumpkin patch. My mom took the picture and the big joke about her photo skills is that she always cuts off Patrick's head on any picture she takes. She did a pretty good job on this one and all of his head made this picture! Lucky Patrick!!!! Thanks Mom for the picture.
