Sooooooo…in the past three days I’ve done the brakes on two daughters’ cars, worked with my son to remove and replace a broken stabilizer bar on his left rear wheel, and done two oil changes.Makes one feel useful, you know? As I’ve commented before, it feels GOOD to DO. There is a simple pleasure we often miss that is to be had in simply being useful.I fully believe that our worship of God is fulfilled in honoring Him by loving others with the tools (bodies) He’s made for the purpose of glorifying Him
“So then, my friends, because of God’s great mercy to us I appeal to you: Offer yourselves as a living sacrifice to God, dedicated to his service and pleasing to him. This is the true worship that you should offer.”(Romans 12:1)
I’m at work, so I think I’ll sign out for now, and spend some time “worshiping” (internally AND externally).
God’s Presence, All…Jim

Thanks for commenting on my site. It’s only by God that I am able to share the testimony that He has given me. Ephesians 1 3-9ish talks abotu how we are blessed and the revealing of His love and Truth was in accordance with his pleasure and will…However He showed us…We need to share that, because each story is a story of His Glory…
1John 1:3-4 “We say what we have seen and heard so that your fellowship may be with us, and our fellowship is with God the Father his Son Christ Jesus. We say this to make our joy complete.”
Again, thanks for commenting. ~Amy <><
I need to re-read that whole Narnia series before the movie comes out in December. The previews look awesome, but I know that the book is still always, always better than the movie.
I don’t think it is any accident that it feels good to do, that we desire to feel useful, do you?
I’ve read chronicals of Narnia. Truely great book. Thanks for commenting on my site.
