The amazing journey on the mission field of education continues to be filled with blessings that bring praise to the heart and mouth of this unworthy believer. It is joyful to see God at work in your life in both major and minor ways.
The blessing of finding the jobs that can only be described as God opening the door. The blessing of seeing our house sell in just a very short time.
The blessing of being a part of a state championship football staff.
The blessing of teaching young people every day and getting paid for it. That's a double whammy.
The blessing of seeing God bring the young woman into my sons life that He had for him. And the joy of being able to call her our daughter.
The blessing of watching our daughter finish her degree and the joy she gets from teaching.
The blessing of seeing my students excel on the TAKS. The joy of being able to impact their lives in a positive way.
The blessing of being recommended to a program in our district for future administrators. And the blessing of being accepted.
The blessing of having a church family that is truly living on the cutting edge of ministry as we send our missionaries to India, Russia, China, Arlington, and New Orleans. Being a part of a men's group that is totally awesome. I can't wait to see us expand to Cracker Barrells around the world. :)
The blessing of working with teenagers in the context of the local church and the school.
14And above all these [put on] love and enfold yourselves with the bond of perfectness [which binds everything together completely in ideal harmony].
15And let the peace (soul harmony which comes) from Christ rule (act as umpire continually) in your hearts [deciding and settling with finality all questions that arise in your minds, in that peaceful state] to which as [members of Christ's] one body you were also called [to live]. And be thankful (appreciative), [giving praise to God always].
16Let the word [spoken by] Christ (the Messiah) have its home [in your hearts and minds] and dwell in you in [all its] richness, as you teach and admonish and train one another in all insight and intelligence and wisdom [in spiritual things, and as you sing] psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, making melody to God with [His] grace in your hearts.
Colossians 3:14-16 (Amplified Bible)
Live your life before the world in such a way as to be a continual praise to God so that through your His grace might be displayed daily!! And take time today to count the blessings that God has given you, its one way to keep the stuff of this world from becoming a flood that washes it away.
