One of those days…

Well, today has just been one of those days.  I can’t seem to get ahead for anything.  Although, I did get out for a few minutes and I went to Sam’s Club to get the hamburger’s, hot dogs, potato salad, and condiments for our picnic here at work tomorrow. 

Anyway, this morning in leadership group, we read the daily plan and journaled.  I was reading in 2 Samuel 11-12 and one of the words that jumped out at me and slapped me up side the head was compassion.  I also feel that emotion goes along with compassion.  I was telling a friend of mine that I do feel the compassion for people when they are telling a story, but I may not show emotion at all.  So I was asking, does that make me a cold person?  Am I a safe place for others?  I just don’t know.  I was told before that when I tell my life story, I didn’t show any emotion.  I don’t know where that comes from.  I’m sure there is a lesson in there somewhere.

I’m gonna get out of here, I have less then an hour here at work.  YIPEE!!!

Today’s Verse from the New Living Translation

“Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away. Then times of refreshment will come from the presence of the Lord, and he will again send you Jesus, your appointed Messiah.”Acts 3:19–20

Encouragement for Today

Here’s the essence of the gospel in a sentence: Turn from your sins; turn toward God. Then you’ll be cleansed of sin, and God will bring refreshment from his very presence. This “turning” doesn’t happen just once, but daily. Daily we find ourselves not facing God, but facing temptation, or our own selfishness, or even our own pain inflicted by others. As soon as we become aware of this, we can turn back to God. Whenever you don’t sense God’s presence, ask yourself: In what direction am I facing? Do I need to turn around?

 Have a great rest of the day!!!  Love, love!!!  XOXOXO
