Living well

The days seem to be getting busier as we approach the Christmas season. Thanksgiving is just around the corner and Christmas will be here before we know it. We get busy and have so much to do and in what seems like so little time during this season. We plan dinners, parties, and shopping trips never seeming to slow down. We try once again to do the juggling act of working out our time and calendars to accommodate everybody and everything. May I encourage you once again to focus on God and the plan He has for you. Don't just fly through the holidays and miss the opportunity. Slow down, enjoy life, and stay focused. Keep the little things in focus during this season and take advantage of opportunities.

There are 8 tips in this one Psalm to living well. This is your invitation to the big dinner party that you do not want to miss.

Psalm 15 taken from The Message Bible:
God, who gets invited to dinner at your place?
How do we get on your guest lists?
Walk straight, act right, tell the truth,
Don't hurt your friend, don't blame your neighbor;
despise the despicable.

Keep your word even if it costs you, make an honest living,
never take a bribe.

You'll never get blacklisted if you live like this.

Keep your focus and make sure you get an invitation to the big dinner. The little things are what matters most. In the long run your schedules, parties, and shopping trips will not matter. No frustration will excuse bad attitudes with the cashier. No full schedule will excuse not walking His way and acting right. Think on these things and enjoy the season. Keep your focus...

Until next time...
Blessings,
Lesia

Thx Lesia for the reminders. I am looking forward to the upcoming seasons, and a chance to be a blessing to someone :)

I lost track of the blog over the past few weeks, but I'm caught up again.

How's your family? Hope every one is back up & running :)

Live Free!
