MONDAY THOUGHT 4/21/08

Get up, saddle up and get rolling.  You have things to do.  God has plans for you.  Do you think He pulled your fat from the fire just for grins and giggles? 
 
No, He’s not asking for payback.  That’s not His style.  But wouldn’t it be a nice surprise to give Him a loving, caring day back, just a small token that says, “Lord, thanks for my many blessings — faith, forgiveness, friendship, family, along with a few ‘holy cow!’ challenges just to keep me on my toes”?
 
Live today with thankfulness and joy … and play nice with others.  I’m no theologian, but it seems to me that that’s all it takes.  God just might get a grin and/or giggle out it Himself.  Enjoy and God bless. — jri
 
“I am bound by the vow I made you, O God;
    I will present to you thank-offerings;
For you have rescued my soul from death and
        my feet from stumbling,
    that I may walk before God in the light of the living.”
            –    Psalm 56:11-12
