Whooee! A nice breeze with 53° temp and we are feeling the coolness this morning. After the hot days of July and early August, the change in the weather is very nice. Many things or tasks in this life are not among those that we enjoy or look forward to. As always, during the last few days of August, before school starts, I find it easy to write about things we dread. Quickly following thoughts of "the dreads" might come thoughts of times when we would do something better than we did in the past. Do you ever feel under attack when this happens? You should! There is nothing our adversary would like better than to see all followers of Christ wallowing in regrets and dread. Put it aside and remember that Jesus makes all things new. You and I cannot go back and do some period of our lives over and dreading upcoming events will not make them easier. All the events in your life, good or bad, brought you to the point of giving over your life to Jesus. So in place of looking with regret upon some moment, look at it as necessary to make you place your trust in the One who can make all things new. Look for the opportunity to spread the Good News in upcoming tasks or events. Do you need coaching in this? Yes, me too. Praise God for the Holy Spirit who excels at giving us the spirit of power and boldness.
Make the day a special one in Christ Jesus!
