The problem with being "the speaker"

The problem with being "the speaker" is that you remember everything "the speaker" said. This last weekend we talked about the God designed garment that he has prepared for you and I... a garment called Gratitude.

The average person will remember a few things spoken by "the speaker"... some only one thing. Like those who noticed that I referenced the BALTIMORE COLTS rather than the Colts who currently reside in Indiana. My son Samuel (the 8 year old football stat fanatic) was appalled that I made such a blunder. "Dad it is the Baltimore Ravens, and the Indianapolis Colts." I guess it's because when I was an 8 year football stat fanatic the Colts were in Maryland. Oh well.

Anyway, this week my gratitude clothing has been more holey than holy. This morning I wanted to exit my day through the backdoor of complaining. I just didn't want to face the day. But I recalled that "the speaker"said I should "Enter my day through the Gateway of Praise".

So, I tried it.

"God, you are Lord of heaven and earth. You are so good, so true, so real. I love you and I thank you for the plan you have for me in this day. I'm glad to go with you in this day. Thank you in advance for leading me in it."

I've had a great day. God was with me. He blessed me. He led me. Amazing. Grace.

So, if you didn't remember what "the speaker" said (and I don't blame if you didn't) here's the words you should commit to memory. "Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." 1 Thess. 5:18

Nice!
