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!

Thank You and God Bless!!

  Thank you friends and family for coming along on this musing and marveling journey the last three and half years. The journey is not over. There is still plenty of musing and marveling to do. But for now, I have come to a place of pause and reflection. As 2023 rolls to its close, I am considering taking a step of faith to put this into a book to be shared with those I love, and those who love (or will love) Jesus! All along, it has been about using God given stories and random analogies to encourage and inspire, as together we let life point us to our life-giver, Jesus! And that is my prayer for each of you dear readers...that you may be encouraged, each day, to continue on in this Christ-following journey. Look to Him! Shine for Him! Love Him! Share Him! It is what we are called to do! For this life is all about serving our Lord and bringing others to the Father's throne of mercy and grace, that place where we all find hope, purpose and peace. And to each of our precious grand-c...

Preeminence

I am musing.... about Preeminence Preeminence. I LOVE that word! I use that word...alot. I think it. I pray it. I go back to it. Time and again. It gives me comfort and realignment. It helps me navigate life. It gives hope, reassurance, peace and purpose. Why? Because of the context in which I use it. CHRIST IS THE PREEMINENCE! He is my all-in-all! He is on the throne! He has all things. He is all knowing and all powerful and all present! And there-in I find hope and comfort and reassurance and peace and realignment and purpose. When Satan throws those darts of doubt and fear, I raise my shield of faith and shout from my soul “HE IS THE PREEMINENCE!” Life can be going along. Hunky Dory. Life is good. I have been able to touch base with all the kiddos and the grandkiddos:) I have had my sweet grandbaby-time (whether in my arms or on Facebook). My hubby seems happy and content. The house is clean (enough). Work is going well. Bible Study is scheduled for th...

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...
