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 Valentine's Love Letter

   A Valentine's Love Letter On this Valentine's Day, how many of you got a card from someone you love? Precious words that made you feel cared about, treasured...loved! It means alot doesn't it? I especially appreciate when those cards have my husband's (or children's) own handwriting on them, their personal expression, their genuine sentiments of endearment. And so may I take this opportunity to remind all of you, that God has written a love letter for you. Written in red even (perfect for Valentine's Day)! His Holy Bible is your love letter, for it delivers the beautiful Gospel message, the proclamation of hope, the recipe for joy, the instruction manuel for life, the map for salvation. His letter shares of His Creator heart, of His desire for relationship, to have those He can pour all His love into and on. It relates of how He miraculously and lovingly created a beatiful world for His creation. Of how He realized that only by giving His created people a fre...

When life is hard. Really hard

  I am musing about... When life is hard. Really hard. There are dear ones who's lives are hard. There is no other way to put it. At times, I think about those who live in third world countries, or in slums, or the ghetto, or crack houses. Those who were born into poverty and pain. Those involved in addiction, maybe trafficking, sickness, heartache and despair. It is real. It sounds beyond hard. It breaks my heart. But not enough. There are those who appear to have good lives in a middle or upper class situation. But their lives are  full of challenges, confusion and sadness. There are those who things just do not seem to go well for. They suffer rejection and disapointment time and again. There are those who find themselves reaching for things they know they should not to try to heal the hurt. Even those who have reached for the Great Physician and have come to know His love and grace, and still they succumb and fall. And the layers of hard deepen. I recently listened to an a...

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...
