New game...

Last weekend we had friends in town and we played a new game (new to my family!) which is now my new favorite: Dominoes!

We had an amazing time with everyone, it's one of my favorite things - you know? To have time to spend with dear friends - great fellowship, marvelous food (thanks to the G. Family! :) ), fun games, and lots of laughing! God has blessed me so much with great friends and family.

Then on friday, I got home from work and there was a package on my porch. I thought - what could it be??? The return address said NE - so I knew it had to be from some of my friends that visited the weekend before. I was right!!! I opened the package to see my very own Dominoes game!

So this afternoon, when my uncle came over, we played Dominoes - even Grammy played! I was going to try and not mention who won... but lets just say Mr. T got second place! :) No worries - you will probably win next time...

So I must say - a GIANT THANK YOU to Miss Alice and fam, you all have blessed me in so many ways through the years and we LOVED having youall around for a bit! And thanks for my wonderful new game! May God bless you and yours!



And thank You, God - for all the wonderful people you have placed in my life!

The Delight of Sacrifice

So the question that's been rolling around in my head since church on Sunday - if I am not satisfied with my relationship with God - why am I not asking for more? If I have a friend that I want to get to know better - I call them, make time for them, make myself available, my agenda isn't important - only their's. But do I do that with God? Then I was reading My Utmost for His Highest today and this is the scripture for the day:

I will very gladly spend and be spent for you. (2 Corinthians 12:15)

I think God is amazing - I don't think I say that enough. Just as I'm struggling with wanting a better/deeper relationship with God and wanting to serve Him more faithfully, Mr. Chambers hits the nail on the head. He talked about Paul pouring himself out for his Beloved. That his only goal was to do the bidding of Christ. Can I say that scripture with the same assurance? "Paul said that he knew how to be a "doormat" without resenting it" (My Utmost). How often do we lay down our own comforts for what God asks us to do? Our only legacy not pointing to ourselves but rather the One who saved us. Mr. Chambers went on to say that Paul's goal wasn't freedom - which is so often the cry - but rather devotion to Jesus. What an amazing testimony!

"Lord let my action match my words - I want you, only you, and I don't know if I'm their yet - but I want my desire to be "spent for you", that I would serve you with delight, with a singleness of focus, and let that focus not waver!"
