Today has been about the painting project from start to finish. I did the treadmill, baked the scones, and then helped Nate with a few odds and ends. Put a few things back in the closets after putting shelf paper liners on the shelves. Made tuna casserole for lunch, then cleaned out the CD’s, Cassettes, and Albums. Looking through the vinyls brought back memories. The Beach boys Christmas was the first album I bought with my own money when I was in high school. Ricky Nelson – well, what needs to be said??? And if you look really close on the Osmond Brothers album you can see my name written in pen…
It would take a very trained eye to tell the difference between the new paint color and the previous one. Very close. But everything looks so fresh and crisp. Just a little more to do then we can start putting things back.
I listened to Micah from Old Mahoning today. What did God want the Israelites to do, and why? WHAT: they (and we) are to keep his commandments, protect and live and practice them. Sometimes we are half-hearted in our service to God – Live life with your whole heart. Be strong – put on the armor of God. We have everything we need to live for Christ – God will equip us for every situation. Go in and overcome – take action to overcome. With God’s help you will change the dynamic. God doesn’t MAKE us do things; we CHOOSE. Possess – (Ownership) DO something with it! Include God in your life, use prayer and scripture. Pay attention to details and follow instructions (Bible). WHY?: to give us a full life, so we prosper and have peace and eternal life. Enjoy what he has provided, and the assurance of promises kept. He gives us everything we need to succeed.
