"...God is the Builder of everything... Christ is faithful as a Son over God's house. And we are His house, if we hold on to our courage and the hope of which we boast." Hebrews 3:4,6
Thanksgiving… it delivered big -- incredible food, sweet gatherings with family and friends and joyful celebrations. But it didn’t stop there. Pounds from a reckless self-will inched its way under my skin too. The days between Thanksgiving and New Year boil over with temptations -- guaranteed to bring even the strongest to their knees. What’s a person to do?

Accepting what is ahead, i have a plan. A plan to remove what causes useless bulges. I have a Mind and Body Builder Who can steer me clear of costly temptations. I need only confess my weaknesses to Him and
keep in close contact. So here
goes.
Father, keep me from overindulging in the fats of the land,
from buying excess gifts for those who are not in need and from greedily stuffing my
plate and life with needless things.
Instead, help me butter the life of the hungry, spread warmth over the
cold, dry the tears of the lonely and heap layers of Your love on those
who feel hopeless. Father, You and only
You, can give me the strength and will power to do good and not become a victim of this fallen world. Build me up in Your Ways.
have a strong-filled day!
