Romans 12:1-2

So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you. Romans 12:1-2

Multitudes on Monday - May 23



It seems odd to post my multitudes when neighbors in Joplin are facing such devastation. Our hearts and prayers go out to them. Will take M & L out soon to get some supplies to drop off at the church for the truck going to Joplin.


Here is #179 - 209

180. Surprise gifts.
181. Free books left at your doorstep.
182. First band concert.
183. When a son wants to go along on an errand.
184. Lots of questions and explanations.
185. Teaching Sunday School again.
186. Soft frozen yogurt.

  1. I think it's important to give thanks despite the devastation across the country. I think it grounds us and keeps our hearts in check. Great list and it's good to have a moment to visit :) Life on my end has been very busy but good.

    Have a wonderful weekend!
