Sleeping contest

A few nights ago, we offered up a contest to Aliza (4.5 years) and Bella (1.5 years), that whoever fell asleep first would get a prize the next day. Both were excited! Especially Aliza, who when in bed, we said we would test if she really was asleep by saying a joke. The first time, though she looked like she was sleeping, the test showed she wasn't, as she started laughing. The second time, my wife asked "Why did the chicken cross the road?". Again, though she looked asleep, she peeked up and said "Huh?" As if, what are you asking?

Aliza won, though we didn't test if Bella was sleeping.
She got a small notebook and chocolate peanuts, in a gift bag. She was so excited the next day, waiting and talking about the prize all day until I came home from work with it. She is such a blessing, we thank God for her, and also for her sister.

Peace

To work on time

I had the intention of leaving to work on time this morning, but I left late because the freezing rain last night froze my door shut, and windows required heavy scraping. I was able to get in the car after some prying, and scraped a "hole" big enough to see ahead of me through the windshield (not best practice). After asking the Lord for help in getting to work on time, I arrived safely, and with a minute to spare :) Praise God!

How do you know you have a servant heart?

 Gen 39:9 One way you know walking through a field if it's ready for harvest is when it is bending towards the earth. If you want to be happy in serving Jesus there's only one fulfillment in getting true joy: how much can you give... Jesus says let me show you how my kingdom works... When he washed his friends feet Do you want to be great in His kingdom? That is how you get that position... To be a servant of all, esteem everyone better than yourself

New Wineskins

Read Luke 5:33-39 When God is doing something inside of you there will be pressure and there will be adjustment that will be required. Old wineskins can't handle the pressure. Are you looking for God to give you something new? Perhaps you're not getting it because you're not ready for the pressure. Old. Old wineskins. Dry resistant brittle not flexible...dry spiritualy, cracks easily...when the littlest things begin to crack and offend you easily... Resistant to change. Young vision. Old wineskins is not about age but about vision. One can be old in age but have a young vision... New. New wineskins. Jesus came to the Jews first. But He couldn't find many old wine skins that were willing to be renewed.
