I am musing about...

ALL

ALL that we do, according to 1 Corinthians 10:31 should be...For. God's . Glory.

It should be the why behind what we do.

Or at least the mindset behind it.

True. Some things we do because of simple logistics, or stated obligations or role expectations.

That is the reason we may take out the trash or calculate payroll.

But still, behind it all, may our mindset always be...that the way in which we perform our daily tasks, no matter how mundane or complicated, no matter how trite or grand, should be done in such a way that it brings God glory!

So...

Sing that song...for God's glory

Mop that floor...for God's glory

Sign that contract...for God's glory

Wipe that nose...for God's glory

Give that donation...for God's glory

Pay that bill...for God's glory

Drink that coffee...for God's glory

Provide that drink of water...for God's glory

Read that deep theological Scripture...for God's glory

Answer that simple question...for God's glory

Send that card...for God's glory

Keep that "to do list" ...for God's glory

Set that table...for God's glory

Set up your website...for God's glory

Watch that renowned show...for God's glory

Watch their little made up skit, again...for God's glory

Have that talk...for God's glory

Listen to their words...for God's glory

Meet with a friend...for God's glory

Zoom with that coworker...for God's glory

Cut the lawn...for God's glory

Cut some slack...for God's glory

Wash your hair...for God's glory

Wash the clothes...for God's glory

Be washed in the baptismal waters...for God's glory

You get the picture.

Is it easy to do? No, not always

Do we get sidetracked? Busy? Obsessed? Harried? Frustrated? Scared? Apathetic? Preoccupied?

Yes, Yes...all yes's.

Is His grace there to draw us back to Him?

His grace can infiltrate our Modus Operandi when we ask Him to.

And then what happens?

We find greater meaning, greater joy and greater purpose in our day to day living.

He fills us up with Himself and we begin to realize a deeper joy.

When we do all for His glory, it affects the way we perform.

We become a more true reflection of who He is to those around us.

May we all pray for this mindset to grow in our hearts and yes, our minds.

That we all, in the days to come...

Can more fully come to practice God's instruction from His beautiful Word, that we do 

ALL

for His glory!

A story of a story of The Story

   Updated:  Jul 19, 2023 So I have a story. A sweet story. It has to do with my Dad. I love my Dad. He is caring and helpful. He is intelligent and thoughtful. He loves God. He loves his family. And, he wrote a book. A children's book. He called it Ben and Kit. Let's back up a bit. For years, our folks would head down to Florida for the winter. They enjoyed their time there. It gave them a chance to pursue some interests. And to just relax. My mom is a painter. I wrote a blog about her awhile back. You may recall of the winter that she was given an opportunity to paint a mural on the wall of a lanai for a lady that she met down there. She painted a lovely beach scene and had so much fun doing it. She did a great job! Our Dad was proud of her. He shared of how Mom was enjoying this creative venture. We all were happy for her. But I felt a little bad for Dad, who was left alone somewhat while mom was away painting. After all, that was not their norm, for they usu...

Free to Destruct or Thrive

  On this Veteran's Day, I am musing about how we are... FREE! Free.... to destruct or thrive!  0h THANK YOU Heavenly Father for the free nation that is ours! THANK YOU to our service men and women of today and to all those who willingly fought and unselfishly gave...so that we could be free. Free to let our voice by heard, to worship as we please, to vote our conscience! Are these freedoms being challenged? Yes! Is free speech being censored? Yes! Oh there are concerns...ample concerns! So, a disclaimer of sorts. Is what I am about to relate my own humble, personal opinion?  Yes, it is. I am basing it on God's Word which is where I obtain my world view. Which is where I find Truth. Dear readers, I surmise that most of you agree with me, but if you do not, that is your right. We both have rights to express our opinions.And that is because we live in a country that allows us this privilege! And for that, I am thankful! Aren't you? So, getting back to my message. Yes, there...

God Stories. What's yours?

    I am marveling at God stories. What's yours?? Our daughter has a good friend. Her name is Stephanie. She is creative, talented, bubbly, sensitive and loves Jesus! And she wrote a book. For kids. About God. Called Always Remember . It is different then most kid's books. It has a poetic lilt which is beautiful, but atypical in its cadence. It's wording is unique; yet lovely. It is simple and it is deep.  It's premise is pivotal, declaring Truth! It is almost layered in that each reading of this basically simple book helps peel back another level of understanding and appreciation. It is a book that is actually instructional. It should be read often as a way to reflect and then to live. The main theme is teaching kids (and adults alike) to... Stop. Ponder. Remember God. To see Him every day in everything. To align daily with who He is. It is beautifully illustrated, with large colorful pictures that engage, teach, enlighten and intrigue. She shared how the book was firs...
