Life of Eucharisteo

.

"Now it happened as they journeyed on the road, that someone said to Him, 'Lord, I will follow You wherever You go.'" Luke 9:57 Really? Are we really willing to follow Him wherever He goes? Luke 9:59 speaks of a man saying he's willing if Jesus will let him first go and bury his father.  His father, however, is not yet dead. This man is speaking in terms of getting his affairs in order. He's waiting for his father to pass in order to gain his inheritance. He was waiting to be financially sound before he set out on his journey with Jesus. Ouch...that stings. How often do we think twice about giving because we keep seeing the balance in our own checking account flashing in our head? And then there's then man in Luke 9:61. The one who says, "Lord, I will follow You, but ..." Who new that a little conjunction...three small letters....could carry so much weight. Oswald Chambers talks of this man that says, " but ". The man tha...

Friendly Obstacles Anonymous For every hill I've tried to climb, For every stone that bruised my feet, For all the blood and sweat, and grime, For blinding storms and burning heat, My heart sings but a grateful song These are the things that made me strong! For all the heartaches and the tears, For all the anguish and the pain, For gloomy days and fruitless years, And for the hopes that lived in vain, I do give thanks, for now I know These were the things that helped me grow! 'Tis not the softer things in life Which stimulate man's will to strive; But bleak adversity and strife Do most to keep man's will alive. O'er rose-strewn paths the weaklings creep, But brave hearts dare to climb the steep. For about two weeks now my daughter has studied these words. Words that I've heard her recite....words that I've checked to make sure she was reciting correctly....but also words that I've not really heard until today. As my eldest reci...

 The Path Before Us - Photo by Tracey   We all have a choice in this life....we can either choose to give our lives to God and let Him handle things or we can limp along trying to take care of things ourselves. The latter never works out for me.  Will you choose to move forward with God today? I received this in an email a long time ago... I saved it so that I could go back from time to time and get my attitude in check. While we should always have a heart of gratitude, fact is sometimes we don't. We need reminders. So here is your reminder today. :) I pray that no matter what you're facing today, that you don't sit around and complain about it, or waste your time with worry...take it to God, and leave it with Him. He can take care of it far better than we could ever dream. A preacher who was traveling by train noticed two other passengers, a well-dressed man and a magnificently dressed woman with expensive jewelry. The woman was complaining about eve...

Today I'm trying a little experiment. I'm linking up with Dawn Camp over at My Home Sweet Home , to join in on Camera Phone Friday. Dawn has given me one more thing to add to my to do list. ;) You see I love photography. I'm always taking pictures with my SLR. But I hardly ever use the camera on my phone. If I do, it's just to send a pic to my hubby who is working out of town. But now....thanks to sweet Dawn and her wonderful idea....I will be adding Phone-tography to my list of hobbies. Hope you enjoy taking a peek at my new interest. I sure loved Dawn's mosaic. You should scoot on over there and try making your own. 1. Four leaf clover , 2. bdaylove , 3. Backyard Bible Club , 4.

"I want to love better, without selfish ambition or vain conceit. To serve, to give, to unload and load the dishwasher a thousand times in a row. To empty the garbage at 9:38pm without a negative thought. To get up to lock the doors or turn down the thermostat. To sweep and dust and as I work, allow myself to be renewed and refined and put back into my rightful place – below the ones I love. I want to love like Christ."
