No Bragging Rights

READ: Ephesians 1:3-12

He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him. —Ephesians 1:4

My dad was the most important person in my world when I was a boy. He was a respected pastor, a good preacher, and a kind and gentle leader. His gifts were recognized by several boards on which he served. Wheaton College rewarded his service to Christ with an honorary doctorate. People often said, “Oh, you’re Joe Stowell’s son” or introduced me as “the son of Dr. Stowell.” I was proud of my dad and was so honored to be his son that, for years, being known as his child was my source of significance.

That’s but a glimpse of what it means to be satisfied with the significance that comes from our position as a child of the King. Because of God’s great love for us, He adopted us as His sons and daughters (Eph. 1:5). There is no greater honor. No material possession, fame, power, or position can compare. When we embrace this reality, we are set free from the temptation to manufacture and manipulate our own significance.

Those who are in Christ have significance in Him. We can rejoice because we are called by His name. “He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world” (v.4). When we belong to the King of kings, we need no other bragging rights!

We magnify our Father God
With songs of thoughtful praise;
As grateful children we confess
How perfect are His ways. —Ball

Children of the king find their significance in Christ.

Bible in One Year:   Nehemiah 4-6; Acts 2:22-47

I'm late again ..... :(

Two brooms were hanging in the closet and after a while they got to know each other so well, they decided to get married.

One broom was, of course, the bride broom, the other the groom broom.

The bride broom looked very beautiful in her white dress. The groom broom was handsome and suave in his tuxedo. The wedding was lovely.

After the wedding, at the wedding dinner, the bride-broom leaned over and said to the groom-broom, "I think I am going to have a little whisk broom!!!"

"IMPOSSIBLE !!" said the groom broom.

(Are you ready for this? Brace yourself; this is going to hurt.)


"WE HAVEN'T EVEN SWEPT TOGETHER!"

All together now ..... GROAN.

Sounds to me like she's been "sweeping" around!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Amy good to see you.

Last weekend when I was in Ashford shopping when I was walking past the parish church I noticed their was a wedding going on.

There was a stretched limo outside and soon after I walked passed the church I held the bells chiming.

Here are 2 photos I took on the path that goes round the church yard

[Majie Purple]

Cute joke Amy! I’m laughing so hard my eyes are S WEEPing!

Neat blessed event to come across on Your shopping excursion Snugs/Eleanor!
Thanks for a ping to the joke & the pics & backstory, Ladies!

[JustAmy]

GReat pictures, Snugs. Good to see you too.

How nice to see such a happy event on your shopping excursion.

"WE HAVEN'T EVEN SWEPT TOGETHER!"

It sounds like a straw man argument to me, Amy.

[JustAmy]

Hi Maj.

I’m not sure how long I will be around today. :(

Marissa is invited to a Birthday party today. She is really excited.

I’ll see if I can find more jokes to post. :)

[MEG33]

[JustAmy]

LOL

Nice to see you today, NnB. I come by so seldom, I’m never sure who I will run into.

I should get some poems together and post one or two every day. Maybe a little Poetry and Potpourri at the Finest. :)

[MEG33]

I vote yes!

[JustAmy]

Hi Meg.

Great to see you. I always wonder if anyone will remember me after I’ve been away for so many days.

:)

[Mama_Bear]

Maybe a little Poetry and Potpourri at the Finest. :)

I'm ready when you are. :-)

[MEG33]

We could never forget you!

[MEG33]

Terrific!

[Majie Purple]

Hi & Hugs! Amy & Marissa!!
I hope Marissa has a great time at that Party!
I’m sure she will.

The Plan

My mailbox is being flooded with mail concerning gas prices and illegal immigrants. To boycott oil companies or not; to provide amnesty to illegal immigrants or not, etc.

Since I have become jaded to the various solutions proposed by the Republicans, Democrats, Sierra Club, ACLU, etc.

I have elected to solve the problems as they affect me. It solves both my gas and illegal immigrant problems.

I have hired illegal immigrants to push my car. They’re plentiful and cheaper than buying gas. Then I pay them in Pesos so they have to go home to spend it.

I love it when a plan comes together.

A not so PC joke ..... sorry.
