of Wisdom and fulfill your purpose for my life today.

VETERANS DAY, 2014
 
 
Good morning.  Up late, just did not want to get up this morning, but did, obviously!   Cool, but sunny this morning.  Should be a great morning or a Veterans Day Parade!
 
 
Day 1647 - Living "My Next Thirty Years" one day at a time.  Today, I will remember those who served and are serving our country.  They swore an oath and are backing it up with their actions.  I wish our civilian government would  do the same.
 
Today is MMM and work at the Family Store.  I have a real resentment with MMM but will work it out, maybe.  Not ready to quit, yet. Wearing my Veterans Day shirt and Marine Corp hat today at work.  Got to take care of some business today before I go to the gym.  Want to finish the pavers today too.
 
Yesterday was a good day.  Busy day at work but got it all done, well, almost.   Went to the gym and worked some on the pavers - till it got to dark to see the bubble on my level.
 
Tomorrow is Wednesday - one more day and I have a long weekend!  My to do list is growing!
 
GUIDELINES & GUARDRAILS
 
Psalm 51:10 - Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.  Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and uphold me with Your generous Spirit.
 
Proverbs 11:2 - When pride comes, then comes shame; but with the humble is wisdom.
 
Bible Pathways (reading thru the Bible once more in 1 - 4) - Acts7,8
 
Turning Points (with David Jeremiah) - "Behind the Scenes"  ( Then it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God did not lead them by the way of the land of the Phistines, although that was near; for God said, "Lest perhaps the people change their minds when they see war, and return to Egypt." - Exodus 13:17 )  -  Don't be too quick to judge inconvenient circumstances in your life.  God may be at work behind the scenes to protect you from something more serious, or to provide for you something much better.
 
MMM - just some thoughts:  (1) Happy Veterans Day!  (2) It is easier to live with myself, when I live for others!  (3) As I know and love God, I am knowing and loving myself.  (3) I pray for the willingness to let go of my arrogant  self-criticism, and to praise God by humble accepting and caring for myself.
 
Saved by Grace . . . Living by Faith,
Mike
