One of the things that I really like about the Methodist church is that they are doers of the Word, not just hearers. We are regularly encouraged to give of our time, talents and money to serve others. I like that since I am a doer!
God revealed his kindness and love to us because of his mercy, not because of anything we have done (or will ever do). Thank you God for your grace!
Simply Saturday
I think my biggest issue with "doing" is my motivation. I know I should do things for others and not expect anything in return. I find that difficult in all situations. A big part of the odd relationship issue I had this week was caused by my unreasonable expectations of the friend because I had some nice things for him. Yes, I need to do a better job of loving. Yes, I need to keep my own needs in mind when I am interacting with others. I also need to rely on God more for meeting my needs instead of demanding they be met from friends who I think might "owe me". I know that is only human. God calls us to be more than human. To be Christ-like. I will rely on him
I have to work on my big work project today. At least I get to work from home in my sweats instead of going into the office. That is more convenient. I will take Sunday off. I will be working most of next weekend to get the upgrade done. It would be a great Christmas present to get it all finished. ;-)
I need to do a few things around the house today like laundry and dishes. I would like to finish my Christmas decorations, thought a scaled down version of my usual decorations. I don't have the time or energy to make it all happen this week.
I attended the Joy! concert last night. It was nice. Great job, guys!
Hang in there, my friends! I will be upbeat and steady. That is what I do...
