As I had my devotions this morning, this is what I read:
It is good that you recognize your weakness. That keeps you looking to God, my strength. Instead of trying to fit this day into a preconceived mold, relax and be on the lookout for what God is doing. Doing in my life as well as the lives of those close to me. Stop taking yourself so seriously. Lighten up and laugh! Proverbs 17:22 A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
It is so amazing how God works, and His words just are like...a big stop sign! I so needed this today! I have been so worried about the small stuff that I am totally missing out on all the fun stuff! I threw my "list" out. If the cookies plates don't get delivered, no big deal. The people on the list don't even know that they are on the list. Saying that I wish you could have seen the smiles on the faces of my children when I told them the cookies in the off limit container belonged to them...priceless! And as far as the shopping, we skipped out on that and headed to the mountains and surprised them to a meal at the Dixie Stampede! We had the best day! We laughed so hard our bellys hurt, we ate way too much as well! Hunter Wade was even chosen to go and chase the chickens!
You know, each of us are so blessed with what we have and what a gracious God we serve. He gave His only Son to be born on this sinful earth and go to that old rugged cross to die for our sins that we may have eternal life! Saying that, I pray each of you have a blessed Sunday! Laugh and laugh some more :)
