'Daily Devotional'

Clearing Out the Clutter
I’m sure each one of us have those little places where we hide our clutter; for some it may the garage, or a junk drawer or maybe you have even bought a little shed in which to store all your ‘things’ that you just know you will have a use for it later. Many times we are afraid to open those places of ‘storage’, because we are ashamed for other people to see the clutter!
Periodically we need to set aside the time to clean up the clutter.

Because we are in the world, our hearts and minds also accumulate clutter from those, we associate with daily. Unknowingly we pick up ungodly thoughts and attitudes. Sometimes we develop the "It’s All About Me" attitude. Before long, our hearts and minds are no longer clean and orderly. And while we think we can hide the mess, be certain, it will eventually show!

I Corinthians 6:19
"What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not of your own?"

Perhaps it’s time to set aside a spiritual workday and, with His help, get to work clearing out the clutter. Discard those thoughts of bitterness. Bag up and throw out the old patterns of sensual thoughts. Organize your attitudes. Fill your heart with the beauty of God’s Word. Make it clean to the core and leave it open for all to see!

More like the Master I would ever be
More of His meekness, more humility;
More zeal to labor, more courage to be true,
More consecration for work He bids me do.---------Gabriel

Don’t let the Spirit reside in a cluttered heart.
Take some time to clean it up today!
And remember it’s not all about you but, ‘It’s All About God’!

Grandpa and Uncle Matt "Cutting Down Tree."

This is the lift they are using. It goes 50ft. up into the air! Uncle Kevin pulls on the branch while Grandpa
cuts it! That way the branch falls where they want it to. Looks scarry to me:) Granpa is waving 'Hello' to you all! Uncle Matt is taking in the 'View'. Hope you all enjoy these!

"God's Amazing Love"

Ephesians 3:19 "And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God." (KJV)

Could we with ink the ocean fill
And were the skies
of parchment made,
Were every stalk on earth a quill
And every man a scribe by trade,
To write write the love of God above
Would drain the ocean dry,
Nor could the scroll
Contain the whole
Though stretched from sky to sky.

These marvelous lyrics echo Paul's belief about God's love to mankind!

If we could only comprehend what is the width, the length, the depth and the height of God's love! Some people believe that the 'width' refers to it's worldwide embrace (John 3:16); 'length',is God's existence through all ages (Eph. 3:21), 'depth', it is profound wisdom (Rom. 11:33); and 'height' is it's victory over sin opening the way to heaven for everyone who believes (Eph. 4:8).

We need to appreciate this amazing love! But we soon realize it is beyond or understanding. Even if the ocean were filled with ink, as we write about God's love, we would soon drain it dry!

God's love cannot be explained--it can only be experienced!!


Thanks for 'LOVING'!
