"The ideals that have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth. Without the sense of kinship with men of like mind, without the occupation with the objective world, the eternally unattainable in the field of art and scientific endeavors, life would have seemed empty to me. The trite objects of human efforts possessions, outward success, luxury have always seemed to me contemptible." -Albert Einstein

Love Song for a Savior - Jars of Clay
Its a new day. Sundays are always the most crazy day for us, we have a morning church then we have another church within the African community where we teach Sunday school needless to say that isn't the easiest thing for me considering there is a HUGE language . we aren't normally home till around six.
i have to be careful in checking myself on when i start to feel overwhelmed. We aren't supposed to be striving to please others. we are called to serve regardless of how many times we tell the kids.... get off the table, don't throw balls in church, Quit biting you sister, No the crayon goes on the paper on in your mouth!, yes we will be finished soon.
if its not aggravation sometimes that i can feel self-righteousness sneaking in... it is so important to maintain focus on your motives! Why am i acting this way? Am i hearing what is coming out of my mouth? is it something worth while or do i need to be quiet? whether your actions are questionable or not always be aware of why you are doing what you are doing.. this sounds like something that can't escape notice. But if you are anything like me sometimes it is easier to not check yourself.
have a blessed Sunday
Father,
thank you for today, i pray that you will bless all of the churches that are meeting today; some in hiding. thank you that we have the freedom to come to you without fear. Lord please teach me how i can honour you more in my actions help me not to be self righteous or worried what others might think. i want to serve with no strings attached.
Amen
1Co 10:31 So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
