Good Sunday Morning to you, Sweet Friends,
*
Hope you are having a lovely morning,
and that your day just gets better and better!!
*
Also hope you have had a nice weekend,
ours has been pretty good. We repotted
some plants today, and moved 3 pots
around in the yard to make a nice corner
display with a hibiscus, mexican buttercup
and a spider plant. Looks pretty nice,
much better than what it looked like
before anyway! Grouted the edging on
our floor tile in the bathroom. So the
floor is officially finished, finally!
*
Hopefully this week we will be able
to start on the step, and maybe the
bottom of the shower. I am getting
weary of this!! Patience is flying out
the window!! lol I know that soon
we will be grouting, and I can hardly
wait for it to come!! I think we may
have to throw a party to celebrate! lol
*
Well, you have a glorious Sunday
and ponder this scripture in
Proverbs 21:2
*
"All a man's ways seem right to him,
but the Lord weighs the heart."
*
I learned a long time ago when I was in
my early thirties to question why I do things.
Since I was a very guilt ridden person for many
years of my life, I learned it was really a must
for me to ponder why I truly do things, because
many times we do things out of guilt or under
compulsion because someone else wants us
to, or tries to pressure us into it, when maybe we
really shouldn't be doing it, because we know we
have other things that are a priority.
We could do something for someone to get
something in return, or to impress someone,
or to make ourselves feel important,
or because of the should's, oughts and have to's,
The real reason we should be doing something
for someone is for one reason and one reason
only! We need to do it out of a heart of Love!!
The Lord doesn't want us to do things under
compulsion or out of guilt, or any self-serving
reason. He wants us to do things out of Love!
Pure and Simple!!
*
So check your motives,
it can be very eye opening!!
*
Have a Wonderful Day,
*
Blessings, Hugs and Love,
Nellie
Hope your Sunday is glorious as well.
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday to you too!
ReplyDeleteHappee Sunday, Nellie!
ReplyDeleteYour shower will be done soon, and you will have the satisfaction of a job well done, and a beautiful new shower to enjoy!!
I love all of Scott's pictures! They are so beautiful! I'd love to see a collage of a bunch of them!
Wow, power packed little nugget of wisdom there with the check our motives thing!! I agree wholeheartedly! It's something we all have to constantly guard, and ask God to reveal any impure motives. Thanks for the reminder!
I'm still not all the way up to snuff, but I'm trying to ignore it!!
Love you sweetie!
Hopefully we can chat today for a bit!
HUGS,
Becky
Nellie, it sounds like things have been good for you this weekend. I, like Becky, am enjoying Scott's photos...such serenity in all of them. I think that trip must have been just what the doctor ordered for him.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping for a good week ahead for us all. Thanks for your thoughts on our reasons for serving others. If it isn't from the heart...well, it just doesn't work.Our motives cannot be hidden from The One for whom they matter most!
Hugs, B
