How elegant...and how the white hair will enhance it. :)
Indeed. I had a Samoyed back in the 70’s. That hair was everywhere. It rolled across the floor in golf-ball sized tumbleweed balls.
Oohhh, great couch! I love antiques. I am one. Hee Hee. š
You’re very welcome. I can’t think of a better place to be! Hope you and yours had a Merry Christmas!
Me Too! :-)
Why thank you, Dear Amy!

Bible in a Year:
The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.
My interview guest politely answered my questions. I had a feeling, though, that something lurked beneath our interaction. A passing comment brought it out.
āYouāre inspiring thousands of people,ā I said.
āNot thousands,ā he muttered. āMillions.ā
And as if pitying my ignorance, my guest reminded me of his credentialsāthe titles he held, the things heād achieved, the magazine heād graced. It was an awkward moment.
Ever since that experience, Iāve been struck by how God revealed Himself to Moses on Mount Sinai (Exodus 34:5ā7). Here was the Creator of the cosmos and Judge of humanity, but God didnāt use His titles. Here was the Maker of 100 billion galaxies, but such feats werenāt mentioned either. Instead, God introduced Himself as āthe compassionateĀ and gracious God, slow to anger,Ā abounding in loveĀ and faithfulnessā (v. 6). When HeĀ reveals who He is, it isnāt His titles or achievements He lists but the kind of character He has.
As people made in Godās image and called to follow His example (Genesis 1:27; Ephesians 5:1ā2), this is profound. Achievement is good, titles have their place, but what really matters is how compassionate, gracious, and loving weāre becoming.
Like that interview guest, we too can base our significance on our achievements. I have. But our God has modeled what true success isānot whatās written on our business cards and resumĆ©s, but how weāre becoming like Him.
Reflect & Pray
How tempted are you to base your significance on your accomplishments? What aspect of Godās character needs to grow in you today?
Spirit of God, make me compassionate, gracious, patient, and loving!
