Today . . .

I am so thankful to be here for a moment. I am so thankful for these past days, even though they have been dark and pressing. They have been causing me to grow and deal with things I have allowed to take up too much space in my life and heart. Forgiveness is wonderful, and I am so thankful for the joy that comes from resting in forgiveness. I am so blessed in my life, and thankful for my family. Life is a journey, and each step of the way is a learning moment. I am thankful for Brightmoor Christian Church . The teaching has caused my heart deal with sin and find my way toward obedient submission to Jesus. This has been freeing. As I continue to learn and grow and Obey . . . I will enjoy the fruit of the spirit . . . . all the things that everyone looks for in life . . . . the fruit of the Spirit is love, and we all want love, to be loved, to be in love and to love . . . . joy oh yes, we want joy that moves inside of our being, peace and we all long for PEACE and spend a lot of time trying to find it, forbearance or being patient, we may not admit it, but we do want to be patient . . . , kindness who wants to be a grouch really, many times we choose unkindness because we are angry that someone was unkind to us, goodness things that are good are wonderful and we like goodness for goodness sake, faithfulness we want things to be right and the way they should be, gentleness with others and with ourselves . . . . we should be a little kinder and gentler and self-control what can I say about self control, that ability to be in control when most times we feel just on the the edge of any control . Against such things there is no law. Maybe this makes no sense at all, but I do long to enjoy the Fruit of the Spirit in my life. As I walk with Jesus, and allow his Spirit to teach and lead me in the ways that are right, as I choose right living over sin, I will grow. I want to grow, and be more like Jesus to the world in which I live, beginning with my family. I have a wonderful family, and I am responsible to love them with a sacrificial way. I am here today, and I choose today to walk in the way that is Right. Peace
