Two otters holding hands

Two otters holding hands.
Good morning Carla Sharp, how are you this fine morning? I am doing well, I am a bit tired I didn’t get to bed until around 11:30 and didn’t get to sleep till after 12! We did get up this morning and yes it was hard. But all in all I’d have to say it was worth it.
As far as devos go they went well, I had to memorize a verse for Hebrews class today and so I used some of my time to do that, but I thought it would okay since I am memorizing scripture I think it counts J
So, I saw two things this morning that caught my eye and I am praying about for today. 1. In Luke 12:35-59 Jesus begins talking about His return and being ready. But in verse 35 He says to be “dressed and ready for service” now the way I took this was that throughout my day I need to be dressed and ready for any opportunity God might present to me. Whether that be smiling at someone at the right time, sharing Christ through a loving action or word, or just flat out sharing Christ. So that is the first, and the second is very similar to that first. In Proverbs 12:24 it says: “Diligent hands will rule, but laziness ends in slavery. Now I know this is not the primary meaning but it hit me in this way; I need to be ready and most of all willing to serve God that I might “rule” or give willingly, rather than being lazy and having God have to take it into His hands and MAKE it happen. You see what I am saying we can give of ourselves willingly or begrudgingly.
My prayers for today are; that I would serve the Lord willingly and be ready whenever He might call on me throughout the day to do a particular task.


Thank you once again for marrying me, you are so very special and just flat out awesome!!!!!


In Him
