/Not Lethargy But Surrender
He that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. 1 John 2:17

You are called not to lethargy but surrender.
Happy is the man who puts his trust in the Lord, yes, even to the extent that he lets Him formulate the plans and direct the goings.
No reward is sweeter than to feel His commendation.  No life is more tranquil than that lived in His will.  At His feet there is peace. Turmoil shall not dwell in the home where Christ is the honored guest.
Life becomes a hymn of praise when God's love rules the heart.
/
I was struck by the statement 'Turmoil shall now dwell in the home where Christ is the honored guest."  Have you ever gone into a home where you sensed such peace?  There it is, Christ is the honored guest.  I question ,do we make Christ honored in our home, when guests come, or all the time?  Could we maybe check our hearts/attitudes/ are we welcoming Christ into our midst?

Father,  help us to check our hearts and motives, and to think about how we could make you feel more welcome in our midst.  In Jesus Name, Amen.


Yesterday, was Sunday School and Church,  Kim, Tracee, Alicia and Erica Wagenman were with us, we hadn't seem some of them for a long time.  It was a good afternoon for a nap and to stay inside.  I tried to get somethings done for school, etc.  Frank is back in the hospital.
