Day 15 – Absolutes

Absolutes, I hear, they are not popular with some folk, but for me, I absolutely appreciate absolutes.

What brought this on? Glad you ask.

Dr. Quinn. Yes, I watch an episode or two often. You may recall it was a television series from 1993 to 1998. Overall it was excellent family entertainment. I did not agree with every issue presented in every storyline but who would expect me to. Right? :)

Today Brian quizzed how to know when it was right to refuse to obey an unjust law. In essence he was told his conscience would be his guide. That’s good counsel if you have a pure conscience. But who does??

I need more than that.
Don’t you?
I need. No.
I WANT absolutes. And I have them. So do you. They are found between the covers of 66 Books – The Bible.
There in the Bible is every absolute needed to keep me safe and sane.

So when is a law of man unjust?
When it violates one of ABBA’s.

Even so He requires that I use every legal and peaceful avenue available to me to bring justice amid injustice.

Absolutes!
I love ’em!!

18 If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave the way open for [God’s] wrath; for it is written, Vengeance is Mine, I will repay (requite), says the Lord.

Day 14 – Renewable Resources

I am thankful for renewable resources, particularly my mind!

Romans 12: 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. (emphasis mine)

Morning routine came again this morning and I was just about to say to myself, I am tired of this and then something happened!

SCRIPTURE!

ABBA’s Word renewed my mind and my tongue and my attitude. I am a grateful woman. Grateful for a renewable mind which brings a renewed tongue and renewed attitude –  a redeemed day, a redeemed life.

Are you thankful for renewable resources, particularly your mind?  :)

Have a renewed Monday!!

Click HERE and pray, other folks need some renewing too.

Keep Braving the Dark with The LIGHT,

Day 13 – Family

I am thankful for family. And in this particular moment for a GRAND. He’s 9 and he’s standing at my elbow as I type reminding me how important family is. How blessed we are with children and grandchildren, sisters and brothers, moms and dads (either here on earth with us or waiting in Glory).

As Logan said, families have their ups and downs but LOVE holds us together. He’s right. LOVE is the life-blood of the family and the giving of thanks keeps love flowing – there will be no clogged arteries for those with thankful hearts. :)

Ephesians 3:14-16 New International Version (NIV)
14 For this reason I kneel before the Father,
15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.
16 I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being,
