"...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 -- scrumptious meals topped off with sweet gatherings of family and friends. For me, it's also a kickoff to an overindulging season. 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?
Knowing my frailness, i have a plan. A plan to remove excessive bulges. I'm signing up with 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 with Him daily. So here goes my contract...
Father, keep me from gorging on the fats of the land, from buying excessive gifts for those who are not in need and from greedily stuffing my plate and life with needless stuff. 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, materialist world. Build me up in Your Ways to be Your House filled with Your Light and Love and Hope.
we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live, love and do like we believe it,
veneal
