Ten Commandments Award

A very special blogger, Marilyn, at Faithful Nibbles gave me the Ten Commandments Award. I am taking the time now to acknowledging her recognition.
The Ten Commandments are from GOD, and are the standards to which we are to hold ourselves. The 10 commands can easily be grouped into two groups — love for God and love for others. These commandments where given to Moses and the Children of Israel in the wilderness after their escape from slavery in Egypt.
Can you imagine how much better our world would be IF all people lived and followed these commandments?
Ten Commandments from the Bible
The Ten Commandments Exodus 20:3-17. :
1. You shall have no other gods before Me.
2. You shall not make unto thee any graven image.
3. You shall not take the name of the Lord God in vain.
4. Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.
5. Honor your father and your mother.
6. You shall not murder.
7. You shall not commit adultery.
8. You shall not steal.
9. You shall not bear false witness.
10. You shall not covet.

1. Describe yourself in seven words. Woman of God, compassionate, trustworthy, loving, giving, tender hearted, sober.
2. What keeps you up at night? Conversations with loved ones that I wish went differently.
3. Whom would you like to be? Mary Magdalene
4. What are you wearing now? Pajamas
5. What scares you? My sons’ lack of belief in the things of God.
6. What are the best and worst things about blogging? The best things are getting to share my testimony with people I would probably never get to share with. Reading other peoples testimonies and reading about what God is doing in their lives. Being able to witness to many people.
The worst thing about blogging – The worst is reading the about the sadness of others who don’t believe in Christ.
7. What was the last website you looked at? http://faithfulnibbles.wordpress.com A very inspiring blog!
