Terriffic Tuesday

   When I search the news this morning, I think about how many things that disaster relief has brought to help the hurricane victims.  I also think about how many things have been donated over the years that simply end up going to waster. They have to let it go out to sea or destroy it some way because the items can't be used.  I mean, high heels and prom dresses are nice in their place.  There are many nice prom dresses and I, for one, sure don't need another pair of shoes.
   I mean if you were going to a rodeo would you wear cowgirl boots or high heels?  Nowadays you can get away with wearing boots to church, but that makes sense though. It gets cold in the winter months where we live.  I, myself wear boots sometimes in the cold months.  But that's not the point here.  We need to Identify our self in Christ so that we may find what gifts we can bring.  Each one of us has a different purpose and a different gift that God gave us.
   You might have the gift of music, the gift of prayer, the gift of encouragement.  The Bible tells us that all these gifts are needed to build the body of Christ.  No gift is lesser than the other and we shouldn't compare ourselves to other Christians, " Christ Followers."  We are made differently, it doesn't mean that one is better than the other.  It just means God made each one of us to serve a different cause.  We don't know the answer to that, but God can see way ahead of us.  We need to learn to trust and follow HIM.
   Just because it looks like a friend is better off, that's no reason to get mad and upset.  I know it's easy to compare, I am guilty.  Then I think of what I mentioned earlier,  I am not capable of living another person's life.  For some, this world, is all the Heaven they will see.  Perhaps it's not the best way to think, but, it helps me press along.  I know that God made me for a certain purpose and He gave me gifts that only I can handle.  I need to cultivate my gifts and learn to use them for His Glory.

             
   From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.  Ephesians 4:16


Prayer-- Lord, help me not be jealous of other peoples Spiritual gifts.  It's not up to me to decide what you give me in life.  It's up to me to educate myself and edify the church. I hope and pray it brings You Glory.  In Jesus Name, Amen.

Terrific Tuesday

2 Peter 1King James Version (KJV) 1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall n...

The Priority Principal Priority according to dictionary.com  means  the right to take precedence in obtaining certain supplies, services, facilities, etc., especially during a shortage. In life, we all must set priorities.  Not only must we set priorities, we must decide which priorities" will help us succeed.  Making lists help me tackle tasks but they also help me visualize my priorities. “A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books.” ― Walt Whitman Establish a base point and determine what your strengths and weaknesses are.  Don't compare to others,  God gave us each a special" light to shine....we need to shine it. Once picking the top priorites,  keep your focus on those priorites and the others will fall in place. Age doesn't matter here, but, according to Nature, we each get older every day, so learning to set priorites when we are young will make a difference on ...
