Strolling through Ephesians Praying for Your Grandchildren

Spring is finally arriving in Oregon with the daffodils and beautiful blooming trees. We have a beautiful pear tree blooming in our yard, with the bees pollinating the blossoms. It reminded me of the bees in Ephesians, which I will share with you today.

Strolling through Ephesians, we bump into a bunch of “bees.”

Be completely humble and gentle. (Eph. 4:2)

Be patient. (Eph. 4:2)

Be made new in the attitude of your mind. (Eph. 4:23)

Be kind and compassionate to one another. (Eph. 4:32)

Be imitators of God. (Eph. 5:1

Be very careful that you live as a wise person. (Eph. 5:15)

Be holy and blameless. (Eph. 5:27)

Be strong in the Lord. (Eph. 6:10)

Be alert and always keep on praying. (Eph. 6:18)
