Positive Role Model

What a steamy weekend. I hope you had a good one. Mark got to do some boating and we enjoyed all seven dogs, so it was a good time here. I'm reflecting this morning on the weekends' upperrooms. I especially liked being reminded that we can use our gifts and blessings and by passing them on, they are multiplied. I also, enjoyed being reminded that God is the potter, we are the clay. We need to sometimes be still and try to let ourselves relax and find our center in Him, so he can more easily mold us and make us into something wonderful.

While I contemplate these awesome thoughts I am enjoying two of my favorite music videos. Craig Morgan, a strong Christian, performing International Harvester and Trace Adkins singing I Got My Game On. These two are perfect for getting aerobic exercise while dancing. Trace, in his video, states to the comic, Rodney Carrington, that he needs a positive role model. Wasn't it amazing that God gave us the one role model we can all live our lives emulating. He came down and did that Himself. He could have been spending those thirty some years doing only Heaven knows what, and yet, He came down to earth and lived a human existence to show us how we are to live. If He was willing to do that for us, how should we live our lives in response?

The View just showed the best video about a lion that was reintroduced to two fellas that helped raise him and then released him in the wild. It is so special to see a grown, now wild lion, joyfully greeting these two long lost friends. It's probably available on the internet. My sister actually showed it to me a couple weeks ago on her computer. I highly recommend you try to see it.

Well, I've got a busy day with dogs, puppies and other Monday responsibilities. I hope you have a great day, luv, Susan
