Be Radiant!
I sought the Lord, and he answered me,
and delivered me from all my fears.
Look to him, and be radiant.
Psalm 34:4-5 RSV

You'll find when you smile,
Your day will be brighter,
And all of your burdens
Will seem so much lighter.

Have you ever been around someone who seemed to radiate, they were likely a Christian who lived close to God and sought to daily do his will.  They were that way because the love of Jesus was radiating from them.  It didn't just happen, they made the choice to follow God in prayer and reading his word.  This morning I am reading the lesson for Sunday School.  it is all about Being Cheerful and has a lot of scripture about speaking cheerfully, singing cheerfully, and smiling cheerfully.

Proverbs 15:30
 A cheerful look brings joy to the heart,
and good news gives health to the bones.

Father, help us to examine ourselves, what are we projecting to those about us and especially our families?  They deserve the best, help us give the best to them.  In Jesus Name. Amen

We enjoyed the day at home, I did some cleaning, made some bars and we were with the Sr's for lunch.  Dad moved snow with the tractor/snow blower.  it is very heavy snow.
