I woke up this morning tired. :-) Guess what ... I went back to bed at 10:30 and slept for 2 hours.

I’m hoping tomorrow is better.

My pleasure Amy, it;s also good to be home. Now I just need my computer back. Tired of this laptop.

Maybe you had enough sleep but didn’t get the ‘rest’ you needed! Hopefully, better days ahead for ya! :)

What A Great Neighborhood

November 8, 2011

Where you live has a way of making certain demands on how you live. In my neighborhood, the garbage collector comes on Tuesday mornings, so it’s my responsibility to get our garbage can out to the curb the night before. Letting the trash pile up on the curb for days before doesn’t make for happy neighbors. And we have lots of children playing outside, so signs are posted everywhere reminding drivers to slow down. That means I drive slowly and watch for little ones who, without looking, chase wayward balls into the street.

It’s important to remember that God has placed us into the “kingdom of the Son” (Col. 1:13). Living in His neighborhood means there are life-transforming behavior patterns that should clearly reflect our spiritual location. This is why Paul reminds us that God’s kingdom is not about arguing and bickering over earthly stuff but about “righteousness and peace and joy” (Rom. 14:17). Living by God’s right standards, living to be a peacemaker, and living to be a source of joy in our relationships are what kingdom life is all about. And, when we live like this, our lives please God and bless others (v.18).

Sounds like the kind of neighborhood anyone would love to live in!

The world gets a glimpse of God
When those who claim to be
The followers of Jesus Christ
Are living righteously. —Sper

If you’re part of the kingdom of God,
it will make a difference in how you live.

Read: Romans 14:13-19

For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. —Romans 14:17

Bible in a year:
Jeremiah 43-45; Hebrews 5

I loved this, PGalt. Brings back a lot of memories to me as I raised 2 little cowboys and have seen it all. And when they weren’t cowboys....they were Army guys! Oh how much fun those days were. Makes me kinda misty eyed as I get older.

Thank you for this good music!

[jaycee]

And I am glad you enjoyed all the things going on at Amy’s
Place.

[jaycee]

Thank you Rus, for reminding us “what its all about”. We
enjoy the Daily Bread each and every day!

[The Mayor]

Sure thing, it’s how I start my day, everyday. I am happy that so many read it and absorb so many good messages.
