Story Time

As a child, I loved it when my mom read to me. I would sit on her lap and listen to every word.  As she read, I examined the details of every picture and waited eagerly to hear what was on the next page.

Have you ever thought about the idea that our lives tell a story?  In every situation - good, bad, or indifferent - people around us are watching and listening to the story we are telling.  Our story is communicated not only through our words but also our attitudes and actions as we respond to life's buffetings and blessings.  Our children and grandchildren, spouses, neighbors and co-workers can all observe the story we're telling.

More Like Jesus

Let us be more like Jesus
In everything we do;
Let's live a life of service,
A life that's fresh and new.

Let's relinquish worldly things,
And not be slaves to fashion;
Let's fill our hearts with love,
Forgiveness and compassion.

Yes, let's be more like Jesus,
Being always in God's will,
For if Jesus' light shines through us,
Our earthly purpose we'll fulfill.
