This morning I was in the kitchen doing my morning mad dash run to get breakfast cooked for my Brian. We are trying to take care of our health so many mornings it is not real exciting~ for neither of us like the perfect breakfast food~ oatmeal. Eeewie ~grocie as my grandson would say. We choke it down none -the- less. But once a week I cook bacon and eggs.
Most mornings I skip the taboo piece of bacon but not this morning. This morning I fixed bacon and eggs and I SLOWLY enjoyed my little piece of bacon. Our family loves us some bacon~ I know it is bad so we don't have it often. Today just seemed like a bacon and egg kind of morning.
As I was cooking breakfast I listened to a devotion about not forgetting where God has brought us from and what He has done for us.
Oh my stars~ I am so thankful! I was a little bus kid that He picked up and placed in a wonderful church with a Pastor that showed me how to not only love God but how to trust Him with my entire life. The rest has been history. He saved my entire family and set our feet on a sturdy rock.
He has sought and found the hearts of all my children and and they are walking with Him too. Has it always been a piece of cake?~ Not always! ~ But He has sure made life sweeter. He has carried me through the storms and loved me when I have been unlovable. Always working all things for my good. I feel like His pet-child. I love Him so much and I am so thankful.
Life only becomes a burden when I forget to remember all that He has done for me or where He brought me from. Sometimes I take for granted all the grinding and polishing He has done in my life. I was a diamond in the rough~ an ugly lump of coal but He has been chiseling away at the rough edges in my life for a long time.
I know He has much more to do in my life but once in awhile I see the reflection of Him shine through my life and it is beautiful. The problem comes when I see the glittering beauty and I want to steal His glory. As she said in my devotion this morning~ Watch out! God won't let us steal His glory. When His light shines through in us~ it is to point others to God not for us to think more highly of ourselves than we ought to.
Ephesians 2:10 (KJV)
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Matthew 5:16
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
As I kissed my love goodbye and started my morning chores I couldn't help but feel that my cup runneth over. God has been so good to me! Now see what I mean? It is a bacon and egg kind of morning.
Now I am going to go walk off that bacon. Have a blessed day!
