Now the Billster is sick...I won't go into details that he so graciously shared with me on the phone! And yes, he's still working... he's a workaholic, and loves his job... but also because the boss is gone for the day and the other driver needs to leave early. So Bill requests chicken noodle soup for dinner and the bed to be ready as soon as he gets home and all day tomorrow so he's ready for the Super Bowl on Sunday. (By the way...my idea of a super bowl is a self cleaning toilet!!) Anyway... I continue to pray that the Lord go before him and keep him safe and that his tummy be calmed... AND that the Lord help that I don't get 'it'!
Good thing that one of my gifts is care giving. Doing my study this morning and it's perfect timing. (God's timing always is!!) :) Opening verse is: "Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself unstained by the world." James 1:27 Now I'm sure you're saying, okayyyy, but Bill's not an orphan or widow!!! No he's not... but he's in need. But my gift actually is caring for the elderly, or even just visiting them. I LOVE going to see them when they're lonely and/or in need. So let's say that Bill's my elderly for the day! HA!
Anyway, I'm also reminded that I can't be saved by deeds without faith in Christ! God COUNTS on us to care for the needy. But we have to commit to Christ's ethics and morals in order to minister to these needy! God is also practical. He doesn't ask us to do what doesn't matter! I've made up my mind who I want to be and I daily die to the worldly stuff... I am a child of God, caring for those in need... and today's needy is the hubby!
Blessings ya'll...for a healthy and happy weekend!
