Heavenly Father, teach me to number my days that I may gain a Heart
of Wisdom and fulfill your purpose for my life today.

Saturday, November 29, 2014

Good morning.  Woke up early but did not get up until 5:30.  I am going to start getting up when I wake up - maybe I will feel better.  It is cool and mostly clear this morning, dry and no wind.  It is a beautiful morning!  Warming up to low 80s for he coming week.

Day 1665 - Living "My Next Thirty Years" one day at a time.  Today, I will remember that God is my inspiration and that I am God's instrument!

Today is MMM and a Saturday without any plans.  But there is plenty to do and that really needs to be done.  I wish the boys were here - then I would have both 'help' getting things done and an excuse for not getting things done!

I need to do some work on the Expo - noticed a puddle of fresh oil underneath it - it needs so much work.  I just do not have the money to get it worked on and do not have the skill or tools or time to do it all myself.  I will do what I can.

Yesterday was a good day.  A very long day at work but it went well.  Sadly, the birthday party was over by the time I got home and everyone was already gone.  I so wanted to give the boys a good by hug before they went home.  I did get to see them for a few minutes when they all came to the store to pick up the dresser and mattress they bought.

Tomorrow is Church - the last Sunday of November.  A busy December and January and then the missions trip to Haiti.  Actually we are planning two missions trips this year - out Haiti trip and then the college age group are going to Morocco for an "tourist evangelism" trip working with an established ministry.  Praying for a music and worship leader for our services - I miss the piano and organ so much! 

GUIDELINES & GUARDRAILS

Psalm 141:8,9 - But my eyes are upon You, O God the Lord; in You I take refuge; do not leave my soul destitute.  Keep me from the snares they have laid for me, and from the traps of the workers of iniquity.

Proverbs 29:5 - A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet.

Bible Pathways (reading thru the Bible once more in 1 - 4) - II Corinthians 5 - 8

Turning Points (with David Jeremiah) - "Gratuity Not Included: Servers"  ( The natives showed us unusual kindness... - Acts 28:2 )  Go out of your way to smile at the guy behind the counter.  Be pleasant to the woman on the phone.  Tip when appropriate.  Be a pleasure to serve.  Show unusual kindness.  A dash of gratitude can brighten the skies of others and represent Christ to their hearts.

MMM - just a thought:  There are no exceptions to God grace, but many expressions!

Saved by Grace . . . Living by Faith,
Mike


"A warm smile is the universal language of kindness!"
