What now...

I woke up every day wondering what the next blog verse was supposed to be.  I sat for my quiet time and wondered if the verse was the one I was reading but nothing was coming close to the Matthew 25:4 verse we talked of last week.  "Whatever you do for the least of these you do for me."   The conversations I had with people and the places I went showed that verse over and over again.  The plumber I heard about does HIS job with the gospel in mind.  The Mom of twin I work for said,"I really didn't think of my job being THAT important." 

Once again I came across many people who just don't "feel" like they "do" enough.  The quiet time isn't long enough, I don't serve enough, I don't do much for anyone... I wonder if it is more about our attitude in doing and maybe it is more about our BEING than our doing.

I heard a great quote today...

"Enjoy God's presence more than His presents!"

Enjoy Him whether your quiet time is 1 verse of 50 verses.  Enjoy His presence as you clean that _______ for the 100 time.  Enjoy Him right where you are!   I want to remember that the things I do for the least of these I do for HIM!!!  The little things matter!!

Forgiveness

Good Morning! I was thinking about "love" this morning as I sat with my cup of coffee and my paper and waited on the Lord. Last weeks verse was about being able to love because Christ loved us first.  Do you find loving people we like is pretty easy and it is even kind of easy to love those we don't like.  We can be the first to love someone but the question I had for myself was... ...how come I can't be the first to forgive someone.   Forgiveness is a place I can get stuck! Loving seems easy compared to forgiveness.  I think they may go hand in hand. This weeks verse is from Colossians 3:13  Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievenaces you may have aginst one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you It sounds so easy as you "read" it in your Bible!  It sounds so easy as you "think" about forgiveness.  Can it be easy if we stay in step with the spirit as we walk through our day? ...

The Royal Wedding and Psalm 145

I was listening to the radio yesterday and the question they asked was, "Why would you want to watch the royal wedding?"  A few callers called in with a few reasons with one of those being... ...It is kind of like a girls super bowl.  The second thought someone had phone in was that if we compared it to King David and Bible times we could understand the royalty of that time in scripture.  One of the callers suggested that we read Psalm 145 in comparison of this royal day.  I have to admit I really had no intention of watching the event at all.  My husband and I figured we would just stay in bed a little longer because the news and weather wouldn't be one anyways.  But our internal alarm clocks went off and we found ourselves watching the event and the cars and the guests coming and being announced as they approached the church. The cheering was so loud and as Kate approached I found myself a little exci...
