Actually, that would be catch up on reading my personal
emails. More specifically, The daily devotion emails from John Fisher at the
Purpose Driven Life. Some of the thoughts that challenged me were:
- To be more aware of and think about being eager to do good (1 Peter 3:13).
looking for opportunities to serve others
- To see my work as worship to God, doing what I was created to do, my very life as a gift from God
- Am I using my uniqueness, the things that God put in me and the experiences I’ve had to benefit others?
- What will we do in Heaven? Sit around or continue to grow and server? If there is a purpose on earth, that there will be an even more significant purpose in Heaven.
- The challenge of many different points of view and diversity while yet being in unity with
Christ.
- What is worship? The areas of worship that are outside of a church service, and the fact that worship is so much more.
- What is character and how do we get it? (Romans 5:3-4 and it’s not generally a good time at the time)
I shouldn’t get so far behind, this is certainly a lot to consider all at once but I’m glad I spent some quite time this morning to read these devotions and think about what they mean to my life. I’m thankful that John makes these devotions available and that they cause me to stop and think about these things.
Even during this quiet time, life happens, I hear the 3 thumps on the floor above, our family signal to come upstairs and see what’s happening. I have a fair idea what’s happening as I heard some stomach turning sounds from one of the bathrooms a few seconds earlier. Scott’s not feeling too good, perhaps some bad pizza from last night. There’s not too much to be done as generally you just need to ride these things out. I took him a cup of water.
