<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nThere\u2019s a Long Road Ahead,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nJust for Today!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nPsalm 145:9<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Lord is good to all, and his compassion is over all that he has made.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Romans 8:21<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n… the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and will obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Words of Grace for Today –<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So you thought you could sleep in because no one really depends on you today?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or just because you were going to get away with it again?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not so fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether it\u2019s the co-worker,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the boss,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the clients,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the neighbours,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
or even just the weather<\/p>\n\n\n\n
or (watch out for this one!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maybe it\u2019s the Holy Spirit,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Someone is counting on you getting on the road, getting to the destination, the goal for today and getting done what needs getting done,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and if there\u2019s nothing pressing, then to get around to that ever growing backlog of things that ought to be done sooner than later,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and now it\u2019s later<\/p>\n\n\n\n
enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So Hit the Road Jack!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Swing into action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rain or Shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Honesty and Kindness<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Always need some doing in many a creative ways<\/p>\n\n\n\n
for those least deserving,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and for the regulars<\/p>\n\n\n\n
that count on your love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
or at least God\u2019s love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
which you are supposed to be the agent of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So<\/p>\n\n\n\n
…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the most honest and most kind thing is to yell again<\/p>\n\n\n\n
GET YOUR BUTT MOVING<\/p>\n\n\n\n
before it\u2019s too late,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and things go into the can real quick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Honest and kind because then<\/p>\n\n\n\n
… well then, it\u2019s a whole other kind of mess you need to clean up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So<\/p>\n\n\n\n
knock<\/p>\n\n\n\n
knock<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the rain is pounding<\/p>\n\n\n\n
on your roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Come out, come out wherever you are<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and start<\/p>\n\n\n\n
reflecting the light given you at baptism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Small task it is not!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just know that God is good to you, no matter what, look at nature around you, as God sets it free from us, and it reflects the goodness God created it to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(What!?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just some motivational words, since I slept in after staying up late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
