Hoping this finds my sister bloggers doing well on this windy Sunday afternoon. Yep, we've got a little wind howling around here and a tad cool but I am enjoying a lazy afternoon. My Sunday lunch crowd (my family) have left for the day so I am kicked back. Sunday menu today consisted of: Chicken and dressing Giblet gravy Italian green beans with ham Mac & Cheese Homemade chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting and chocolate ganache. Yep, they are little spoiled at Nana's house. I am not a huge fan of cakes with icing but it must have been good as one of the grands had two slices. These gals and I have been friends for more years than I remember and since we've all retired within a few months apart in retirement and age (dating back to 4th grade in school) we try to get together once every 4-6 weeks.

"I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead." Rev 3:1

Matthew 23:5-7

Great reminder, Cindy!
ReplyDeleteI always want to follow hard after God!
I love that Revelation verse that sees past our facade to our heart. Thank God that He does that!
ReplyDeleteYour post brought to mind Galatians 1:10....Obviously, I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant.
ReplyDeleteI've always loved my girlfriends mother's sayin...If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything!!

I'm so thankful God knows my heart.
ReplyDeleteYes and Amen! I just taught a lesson yesterday on persecution, including the passage, "all who will live a godly life in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution."
ReplyDeleteWith all my heart, I want to love Him the way He deserves to be loved. That love is not, nor will it ever be, a tepid one.
