I am not Mother Teresa

Image
I want to be like Mother Teresa - today I am not so much. But you know what encourages me?  Scriptures that have words like, "line upon line, precept upon precept"...  or ..."His mercies are new every morning , great is His faithfulness"....   Scriptures that give permission for process.  It's really not about perfection, it's about the journey. Romans 14:4 - Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand. "For you see, in the end, it is between you and God.  It was never between you and them anyway."   ~Mother Teresa

Why I'm married and still smiling...

This week will mark our 39th anniversary.  Yep, crazy. Things about our "us"-ness that makes me smile... A couple of weeks ago Dennis decided to teach about truths found in the song, "Hark the Herald Angels Sing".  That's fine.  They were good truths brought out of the FIVE verses of the "Hark"song.  He wanted me to sing the entire song at the end of the sermon.  I have a thing about Christmas carols and Easter songs....I always mess them up when I play them.  It's a psych thing, I'm sure, but it's what happens.  I almost made it through the song.  It was the last verse that got me, and my hands basically played the chords to another song while I sang the final "Hark" verse.  He closed in prayer and turned around and started laughing at/with me.  He knows I give it my best shot but sometimes... I smile cuz he eats whatever I cook - for the most part.  He does get super excited when we get invited to eat at someone else
