Attitude of Gratitude

This picture says it all…

We are so thrilled to have been a part of this year’s planning and production of the Dan Emmett Music and Arts Festival.  This picture represents a small part of our DEMAF family, led by (moving right from me) co-director Trina Trainor (pink hat), Marcy, Hunter, co-director Joe Bell, Rachel, treasurer Heather Brayshaw and Emily.

It’s just another example of how things are better when we do them together!

Thank you to our community for coming to the Festival – after all, it’s for YOU!

Today’s Mystery Monday question was: If you could be a doctor for a day, what are the top two things you would look most forward to?

1- getting a paycheck
2- helping people
3- operating
4- going golfing
5- giving shots
6- vacation

Congratulations to Dan from Howard who wins the $5 gift certificate to Troyer’s of Apple Valley.

From the Inside Out

Today, we continue our devotions from the book “Time with God for Fathers” by Jack Countryman, discussing how we strive to live from the inside out.

2 Corinthians 4:16 says:

“Therefore, we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, the inward man is being renewed day by day.” (NIV)

So we’re not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace.” (The Message)

Living for God from the inside out begins with a change of heart; and your decision to be a different person.

The way you walk, talk, and interact with your family and friends will change as you are called to reflect Jesus Christ in every area of your life.

When you become a Christian, you assume a personal responsibility to live for Christ. Although your sins have been forgiven through Christ’s sacrifice, you are still responsible for your behavior.

What you do on this Earth matters. You are free in Christ, but you are also a bondservant of Christ. Pleasing God is to be your first priority. As a Christian father, who you are in Christ will be reflected in your children as they observe the way you live…from the inside out.

Thanks for listening!

More wisdom for Praise Thursday

Today, we continue our devotions from the book “Time with God for Fathers” by Jack Countryman.

The Choice is Ours!

Matthew 6:24

24 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”

So many times in life, we struggle with our priorities. We struggle in our choices. We struggle with our needs and our wants. It is too easy to end up serving more than one master…and then find there is little satisfaction from either.

When we have two masters such as: God and work, or God and bank accounts, or God and family, all which have contradicting demands, we must make a choice about whom we will serve when our life comes together.

When everything we desire places God first, the choices that we make will come easily.

————————————————-

An ordinary man serving God is an extraordinary father

Ephesians 2:10

10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

The wonderful message about God is that we were ALL created in his image and He believes that we are ALL extraordinary.

God knows this perfectly and loves us completely. Just the way we are. We are His masterpiece, His workmanship of grace and love. His work of art.

As we grow, He continues to paint the portrait of our lives in such a way that we will glorify Him. Many times for us, this is a hard concept to grasp since we see our lives as incomplete and maybe like an unfinished portrait.

But His eternal eyes know exactly what we need and where we need His greatest attention. Every frustration, every disappointment, and every joy is a brushstroke serving a purpose in God’s perfect plan.

In his eyes, you are a masterpiece.

Thanks for listening!
