Prodigal: Howdy, Thanks for dropping by the house.<\/p>\n

Me: Nice house! What are you doing today?<\/p>\n

Prodigal: Sitting around the house doing nothing.<\/p>\n

Me: Well Jim, who is one of our readers, gave us some thoughts to share on sitting around and also the relationship with the Lord.<\/p>\n

We are made to serve not sit. If you haven\u2019t noticed out government has shut down. What are we going to do, says most Americans. We take our eyes off the Lord. Can I give you the five \u201cL\u201d of our savior? And I take them from the life of Joseph;
\nHe is Living-
\nHe is Lord-
\nHe Loves us-
\nHe Longs for us-
\nHe is Loaded-
\nYou know the story of Joseph, right?
\nHis brethren thought he was dead; he became Lord of Egypt, when the famine hit, the brothers went to Egypt for food and Joseph loved them instead of killing them for what they did. Joseph asked for his daddy and wanted him to live in Egypt with him. Then finally he was with Joseph and was rich. God is the same way, he is alive, he is our Lord, he loves us despite our sins, he longs for us to come to him, and he is loaded. He owns the cattle on thousand hills.
\nIf we would remember all he has done, this government and anything else really would not matter. That is why I say we need to stop sitting and start serving our Lord.
\nI really think Jim said this perfect and gives us something to think about this week while I am serving and not sitting!<\/p>\n

Philippians 2:1-4
\n If therefore there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose. Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind let each of you regard one another as more important than himself; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. <\/p>\n

Take care,
\nJennifer<\/p>\n
