Mr D and I were enjoying our coffee on the porch this afternoon while reading scriptures from my Bible. I found this poem tucked in the pages and thought I would share with you.
SHOWING JESUS
I want to be a living statement
To what our God can do.
And so, I must be careful
in the actions that I choose.
My words must be compassionate.
My actions must be kind.
My choices must be favorable
To Jesus every time.
My words and my behavior
Must point to Jesus Christ
Proclaiming of His promises
That help me get through life.
Showing of His patience,
His grace, and charity.
Reflecting of the goodness
He is inside of me.
If God indeed is Master
Of the story of my life,
Then my actions should reflect that
And my choices testify.

We had a great time yesterday! The daughters and their hubbies came for lunch and fellowship!!!
I made it easy on myself and let Dairy Queen feed us, yep, hamburgers and french fries, iced tea and cheesecake for dessert♥
Just so ya know, the cheesecake wasn't from Dairy Queen, Mr Kroger made it for me. 😀
