New Year's Meditations
On the Eve of this new year my little family had communion.
It was there at the cup, the bread broken that I reflected on those things that grieve me.
Things that I have sinned and neglected.
I spoke to the children during communion about what I believe.
What it is that is "my religion".
To love the Lord
with all my heart
all my mind
all my strength
To love my neighbor as myself
To tend to the Orphan
The widow in her hour of distress
In all things for me it has boiled down to the thick of this.
Do I love myself?
Am I able to love others when I am not loving myself?
Do I tend to my own physical, spiritual and mental needs?
This is where I come to sit before HIM and reflect.
These are the things I hold myself week unable to love others wholly,
because I have not Loved myself rightly.
Hope defered makes the heart sick.
The hopes of weight loss...
The hope of nice hands,
Exercised body.
These things have left me heart sick.
Mentally I have readied myself for adventure in teaching the children at the elementary "Art Master Piece".
Learning to bake bread, make yogurt and perform knowledge in order to gain proficiency in all things home making.
Staying on a budget and creating all the things my family needs.
all my mind.
Continue in the Bible Study
all my heart.
Worship, Obey and repent.
Fellowship.
all my strength.
Never giving up
Depending on him to never give in.
