Friday, January 2, 2015

Good morning, It is the second already.  but, having not planned to do anything yesterday, I am right on schedule.  Never getting behind means never having to catch up - but I have the advantage of living one day at a time.  Learned last night that yesterday, we had the warmest weather in the nation - I love living in south Florida.  It is a beautiful morning!

Day 1698 - Living "MNTY" one day at a time.  Today, I will remember that the 'will of God' is not only the what but the way too.    I can not do God's will, my way! (I John 2:6 - Abiding in Christ and walking like Christ:  these two blessings of the new life are presented here in their essential unity.  The fruit of a life in Christ is a life like Christ. - From "Like Christ" by Andrew Murray.)

Today is MMM and work at the Family Store.  Rosa and Jeff are out - and who knows if anyone else will show up - I know I will!  Doris is going over to the Cooley's townhouse to finish up the inside - I finished my part yesterday.  All we have to do now is get the trash out of the garage of the new place.  I also have to install a coat rack and  door stop - and then we are done, I think.  Gym today sometime after work and then ...?

Yesterday was a good start to the new year.  Went to breakfast at CB with Doris and then to the beach - just looking.  Worked at the Cooleys's, went to the gym, and helped Doris with potting and repotting some of her flowers - looking less like a jungle now.

Tomorrow is Saturday, I am off.  Plan to clean out the Cooleys garage in the morning, then the gym and then, start on our yard.  Days are getting a little longer, I am getting a little done.

Spaghetti Dinner on the 7th (Haiti Fund Raiser),  Jean and Marv coming soon - haven't decided just when yet, but soon!  Haiti trip is just a month away - February 8th.

MY RUDDER & ANCHOR

Psalm 6:9 - The Lord has heard my supplication; the Lord will receive my prayer.

Proverbs 2:21,22 - For the upright will dwell in the land, and the blameless will remain in it; but the wicked will be cut off from the earth, and the unfaithful will be uprooted from it.

Bringing the Word is Alive in 1 - 5 - Genesis 4-6 - The consequences of the first Adam's sin is canceled by the Second Adam' sacrifice!

From "Knowing God" by J. I. Packer - "Meditating on the Truth"  Its purpose is to clear our mental and spiritual vision of God, and to let His truth make its full and proper impact on our mind and heart.  It is a matter of talking to oneself, reasoning oneself our of moods of doubt and unbelief into a clear apprehension of God's power and grace.

MMM - just a thought:  You cannot eat tomorrow's breakfast!

Saved by Grace . . . Living by Faith,
Mike

The Christian Gospel is "the gospel of the glory of Christ" because its final aim is that we would see and savor and show the glory of Christ.  
(John Piper in "Seeing and Savoring Jesus Christ")
