February days are now gone and March has officially kicked in. I finally purchased a new monthly focus board. We ventured out for a day date which included a movie. I love our day dates. I will give my honest review about the movie for those interested. I wanted to see this movie as it was based on a true story. I did enjoy the movie but oh my, it was a tear jerker from the get go! It ended good but mercy! Let's just say that I am thankful that no one was sitting close enough to see my tear stained face. I am glad that I saw it but I am good for a while on sad movies, even if they do end good! My oldest daughter, her husband and their son participated in the Spartan race which is a series of obstacle courses that challenge. They done so well. As you can see from the pictures it gets pretty muddy! My three daughters participate each year in the Gate River Run. I love it that they do this together. They have so much support & encouragement from all the onlookers. I am just
Beth Moore tells a story about a neighbor that was diagnosed with a mass on her side which turned out to be cancer. The neighbor was a registered nurse and she and her husband had just had their first child. The couple was not saved but during the trials and tribulation of this dreaded disease both husband and wife came to know Jesus.
With time at hand the mom decided to prepare her child for her death. She told him that she was too sick to stay on earth because she could not get well here but if she went to heaven to live with Jesus she could be well there and would see him and his daddy one day.
She told her son all about God and the love of God. The morning of her homecoming the husband knocked on Beth's front door to tell her the news. Beth immediately went over the neighbors home and felt compelled to anoint her body and her surrounding with oil.
In the meantime everyone was doing what they could to keep the little boy occupied so he would not see the Paramedics taking his mommy out of the room.
As a lady paramedic was walking in the little boy rounded the corner and pulled at her pants. He looked up at her and said, "Are you God? Beth said I will never forget the words of this women....
She leaned down and made eye contact with the little boy and said, "No, but I work for God".
Oh...that so needs to be us as Christians...That should be our mindset.....WE WORK FOR GOD!
For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building. 1 Corinthians 3:9

This is beautiful, I need to remember each morning that I work for God, I am a bond servant whose life belongs to him. Gosh if I had that attitude each day I think some of my choices would be so much different
