A GREAT friend of mine had this as her Facebook post :
Make sacrafices that will lead you closer to God rather than the compromises that lead you away from Him. We often spend to much time justifying things when we can just live a blameless life and stay out of the gray areas. Why waste time justifying things to gratify our flesh, when we could pour our effort into more meaningful actions like reaching the lost. - Emily Shuman
I met a little boy today, on his birthday, who lives in a hotel room, trying to get away from an abusive father. When his teacher wrote him a card (his only present) that tells him he is special, he says, "this was the best birthday ever".We can impact the world, not only with money or the "opportunity of a lifetime"...but with eyes opened to see the opportunities around us everyday, with humble hearts and outstreched hands.
Oh Mandy...how absolutely true! Each 24 hour period that God blesses us with, is yet another opportunity to give glory and honor to Christ through our actions, our words and our attitudes. EVERY DAY is the best time to stretch out our hands to another, EVERY DAY. Each day, someone is waiting to loved on, spoken words of encouragement to or showed the love of Jesus to, by us. It's our responsibility as Disciples of Christ! What a sweet post! I didn't know you had a blog but I do now and I'll be checking it! Love you sister!
