Feeling much better!

Had some funky flu on Saturday, the works... :(
Now I'm %100!
:)
Praise God
I'm sitting in the living room, sunshine pouring in, the smell of gardina's flowing around me, a warm cup of joe, and a writing a letter to Donna. Life is good :) Dad's visiting, it's my day off. :) :) :)

greatest lesson of all.

In our small group on Thursday Nights, we're studying Rick Warrens, 40 days of community, it's a GREAT subject to delve into as a church, and I'm going at it whole heartily. It's main focus is for us as Biblical Christians, to Love. Love God, Love our church community, and Love the community in and around our town. The whole Study is based off of 1 Corinthians 13:1-3

"1If I speak in the tongues[a] of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,[b] but have not love, I gain nothing. "

So the study pretty much goes over the fact that if we don't have love in all we do, our faith doesn't matter, nothing we accomplish matters, what we say doesn't matter, what we believe doesn't matter and what we do doesn't matter....
WOAH, huge... my faith? my beliefes? nothing matters without Love?!?

NOTHING.

So, I wrote on my bathroom mirror. Do EVERYTHING in Love. and I have a lovely saying on my computer: Live in Love.

So folks. if you do nothing else in this life but Love God and Love Others, your life will MATTER. No one out there with millions of dollars, with huge plaques and metals, and things, and knowledge, no one with skills and faith that moves mountains, matters, if they don't have love.

That is big.
Remember it, if nothing else in my blog you remember, remember that.
Go out and LOVE someone today, it's the thing missing from most people's lives.

Matthew 5:38-42

38"You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.'[a] 39But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. 41If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. 42Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you."

NIV- from Biblegateway.com

The Lord spoke to me about my boss this morning in this chapter. My job is a challenge, as I'm sure everyone else's is... and this chapter really important when thinking about you job and what you're " entitled" to... i hate that word, becuase it really puts us above making ourselves avaliable to the Lord and His Will... we think we have " rights" as Americans and sure, we do, as far as our country and our lives are, but to the Lord, our right is worshipping Him and living out His Will. That's that, and until we figure that out, and Love without expeciting things back, life will always be hard.

What a morning! and it's only 8:19am!

This had been a VERY tough morning already...
and the thing that popped into my head that I thought I'd share to encourage all of you is this...
Philippians 2:14-15 " Do everything without complaining or arguing so that you may become blamless children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe."
