What can I do for you

Our Daily Bread
Yes, the devotional reminded me of another Imperials song -- What can I do for you.  I couldn't find the lyrics on the Internet (weird!).  The song talks about all that God has done for us and asks "What can I do for you?"

The devotional answers that question:  serve Him in whatever way we can throughout our entire life!  I loved the story of the couple in their 90s still serving the Lord by being prayer warriors for their church! Praise God! I heard a 94 year old speak at a conference I went to in January. She had the sweetest look on her face when talking about her relationship with God had grown closer and more meaningful throughout her life!  We, too, can live this kind of life!

Lord, if heaven is being with you, then please help us practice while we are here on this earth!

Foodie Friday
I have been craving this all week after having a so-so bowl of it from the cafeteria at work.  Maybe I will make it this weekend.

Tolstoy once said; “Where there is faith, there is love;
Where there is love, there is peace;
Where there is peace, there is God;
And where there is God; there is no need.”  Can your faith in God move you beyond your own needs and seek a way to live in this broken world and serve the children of God?  - J. Perez
