"Refusing to the let the world corrupt you" -- Wow! I like that line from James 1:27! How easy it is to let our world corrupt us when we face a constant barrage of ads and reality TV shows and magazines all promoting the values of this world. It is difficult to resist. Difficult to remain in a state of prayer and thanksgiving. Difficult to keep focus on our mission here.
God can give us strength if we let him. Seems funny to me too. Being weak means that God can make us strong. It is soooooo counter-intuitive! I know I miss the mark many times every day. Please remember me in your prayers as I try to turn more things over to God.
Lord, thank you for being patient with me. I want to please you by serving you the best I can.
Sunday Friend
My Sunday Friend is my cousin The Painter. I spent Christmas Eve at her house. She is an amazing woman. She runs a successful business even though she has health issues. She constantly helps her friends and family, often giving more than she should of herself. Her family is very, very important to her as she didn't have a great family life growing up. I love and admire this special cousin.
Other Stuff
Today is the day! My best friend and a buddy of his are driving from St Louis to Columbus today to visit for a week. Woohoooo! Should be a fun week. I have to work the first few days of the week, but that won't slow us down too much. ;-)
I am also making an appearance at a birthday party for Flybear's grandfather this afternoon before I help serve dinner at New Life. Busy day. I am looking forward to it.
I also need to write thank you notes for Christmas presents. I am not used to getting presents so this is unusual for me. More important than the presents are the memories with the special people in my life.
Hang in there, my friends! I will be upbeat and steady. That is what I do...
