A path is an expression of a habit, Evidence of a journey often made. A habit made visible where others can follow. Most of us think of a path made by footprints, but there are paths in the mind, both good and bad. They are made by repeated words and actions...Some sharp as daggers, others kind and gentle. We all leave paths in the journey with us. It is up to us to see the path leads somewhere worth going.
James spruill
The above statement is taken from one of my favorite sermons. It holds so true in every situation. We all create paths in our journeys through life. It breaks my heart to see so many broken families...children that don't have fathers or mothers. Still other families that have both parents...but those parents are too busy with their cariers to stop and see what is actually more important. I saw a video the other day showing 9-11 through the eyes of the firefighters...I don't often cry, but that one made me sob. Those courageous men and women that rushed in to save the lives of those still in the towers, most of them knowing full well that they might not make it back out...still they rushed in. We should all be this way. Even when life seems too hard...we need to trust that god always has our back.
Hevenly father, I stand in awe of all you are tonight. I had the pleasure of making over a room this afternoon/evening for a family that probably couldn't have afforded to hire someone to do the things that myself and the other members of my life group accomplished. I pray that the work we did for this family truely blessed them in more ways than just improving a bedroom. I pray that we left an impression that this is what godly people do for others. We expect nothing in return. I lift us this family to you father i pray they were truely blessed!
in jesus name
amen!
