Mark out a straight path for your feet so that those who are weak and lame will not fall but become strong.

[Hebrews 12:13 New Living Translation]

Steering In The Right Direction

Good Morning Beloved,

This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!

I heard something yesterday that caught my attention. A news reporter gave safety tips for driving in the snow. One of the tips was to look where you want to go. If you don’t want to go into the tree, keep your eyes off of the tree. His premise was that you will go where your eyes are looking. That stuck with me and this morning I thought, “ummph… that’ll preach”. Where our eyes go, our bodies will follow. Whatever we dwell on will eventually take on life become a reality. If our mind is on McDonald’s fries, it won’t be long before our legs carry us to McDonald’s. No one has ever “accidently” had an affair just coming out of the 7 eleven with a Slurpee. It started off as a thought, some sort of plan… a break-down somewhere. If we can keep our train of thought from getting ‘derailed’, we can keep ourselves out of a whole lot of trouble. It is the holiday season and many people are traveling all over to spend some time with family and friends. Not everyone has as wonderful a relationship with their family as I do. I know that I am extremely blessed with a great bunch of folks. Everybody doesn’t have that testimony. Some are dreading the time they are about to spend with their people. For them, one day is way too long… two days is misery… three days torture! Wonder what would happen if they changed their prospective on the situation. Instead of looking at it as a chore and a duty, why not look at it as a way to start over. To enjoy them in all of their oddities and idiosyncrasies. Time is flying and all we have is right now. Family members are at war over stuff that happened back in the 80′s. If the thing can be changed … change it, if not let it go. Life is too short. Forgiveness is another powerful weapon in our holy arsenal. If Jesus could forgive those who nailed Him to the cross, surely you can forgive your sister for stealing your boyfriend back in high school… I’m just sayin’. Just think of all of the recent deaths, young and old. People who had gone Christmas shopping, gifts from them to their loved ones lying under the tree. Folks with presents under the Christmas tree who will not be here to open them. The verse tells us in essence to walk straight, so that others who are weak can walk straight. Somebody is looking to us to see how to put legs to this Christian walk. They need to see a real live sure ’nuff honest to goodness flesh-n-blood person love their spouse and honor their marriage vows. They need to see someone with a well-adjusted state of mind, a good work ethic, a kind and generous spirit that reflects the love of Christ who walks in honesty and integrity. That may seem to be a tall order… well … it is, but God’s Word assures us that, “we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us”.

…. that Beloved… is Good News!

Y Stress… U Blessed!

HAVE A FABULOUS DAY!
