Greetings!
It is Friday! Allow me to share this 4th of July quote with you: My God! How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of, and which no other people on earth enjoy! ~Thomas Jefferson God Bless you, Julieta Reyes Proverbs 16:3 Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. |
38 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 39 She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. 40
But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!"
41 "Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but few things are needed-or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."
Luke 10:38-42
SUMMER
During this weekend of preparations, I will do my best to keep these verses in mind, so that like Mary, I will enjoy the freedom we have through Christ. A freedom that allows us to enjoy seeking our Lord and listen to his word. We live in Independence from slavery of sin, with independence of following Christ wherever he calls us to go. We live in freedom, like Mary, and no one can take that away from us! Enjoy your weekend and enjoy your time with friends and family. Have a blessed 4th of July, Independence Day! |
