I am so tired…
March 25, 2008 by stephi92569
Every Monday night I go to bed around 8 or 8:30 pm. Only because I get up at 4:15 am on Tuesday mornings. Well for some reason, last night around Midnight, I woke up thinking I was running late. Oh man, is that miserable. So I rolled over hoping to get back to sleep and of course, I could hear every little things going on in the house or better yet our room. I could hear the wind blowing like a fiend, and the house cracking from the wind. Needless to say, I am so ready to fall into bed right now. But we all know that isn’t how it is going to work. I’ll get home, make dinner, read some of the word, watch some TV (The Biggest Loser), and not get to bed till after 9 pm. Who knows how it is going to be.
Today’s Verse from the New Living Translation |
It’s not good to eat too much honey,

Encouragement for Today |
Do you deserve honors? Perhaps you do. Receiving them doesn’t seem to be the problem; seeking them does. Why? Perhaps because it’s so sweet to be recognized that it’s difficult to know when to stop. It’s okay to eat honey, but too much of it will make you sick, rot your teeth, and spoil your appetite for more nutritious food. So too, seeking honors for yourself can make you focus too much on yourself and not enough on God or other people. Receive honors if you deserve them. Just don’t seek them. There is a difference. |
Does anyone ever feel that way? Do you feel as though you deserve to receive honors? Why are you looking for those honors? I think when I do a job well, I enjoy it when my boss notices that I have been working hard and that I have done a good job. Her recognition makes me feel good. I don’t expect it, but I’m glad it gets noticed. Just a few thoughts.
Have a good night. Love, love!!! XOXOXO
