My cousin has a knack for making the cutest paintings using Scripture and quotes. Her most recent (check her blogspot) keeps coming to mind at the oddest times! I know my perspective gets all out of whack some days! But what person doesn't have that trouble? God knew that when He "penned" many passages of Scripture for us to meditate on!!!
I looked at my coffee cup the other day and thought about how my perspective really colors the activities of my day...and some days...it ain't pretty! Thank the Lord for bestowing on His children the Holy Spirit! It is through the little things of my day that I am being reminded to act, think, and speak as God has showed me in His Word. I am now trying to take the time to stop and look at these things (and yes, even take pictures as reminders!) and think before I ACT or REACT. Do you know? That many times I do not do it under the Holy Spirit's control!? And who are the witnesses? My children...my goodness, I wouldn't want my husband to see me not handle things right...uh, umm.
My cup is full of many things that I don't deserve...and one of those blessings is my family. I get so frustrated by the "dailyness" of being a mother, that often I don't even stop to say "Thank you for my family and the privilege of being a mother!"
Instead of seeing my cup of coffee being cold, "Thank you, Lord, for the modern convenience of a microwave to warm it up and the chance to take care of the concern of my son and daughters...because they were more important right then!"
