WE had a very busy weekend, which started on Thursday. We went out to dinner to celebrate my husbands promotion and raise. I am so proud of my husband he works hard and is very good at what he does. Friday my son graduated from the A.C.E. program. Saturday we went to a few stores dropping things off then rushing out for our evening plans. My husband went to play cards while the children and I went to the chili cook off at our church. My daughter also tried to roller blade for the first time! Church Sunday morning, I was asked to give a testimony at church for women's ministry day, then off to more stores. We decided spend a little extra on good pillows. I hope they are worth the expense. We also bought a power washer and stain for our back deck. Then it was back to church for the business meeting. then out to dinner (yay). We got home a little past the kids bed time but with the time change the kids did not notice. Getting them up for school was another thing entirely. The bus was missed. So now I am looking around my home...and there is an awful lot of stuff every where. I am avoiding the clean up by starting a new blog. maybe I will a make a few of the calls that I need to make. then lunch.
Matthew 25:2-13 (King James Version)
2And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
11Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
When I look around my home now as it is I feel shame. I would not let anyone into my home in its currant condition. Is that how I feel about my heart? Have I avoided letting Christ in because I feel shame at the sin that is cluttering it up. And am I going to be left banging on the door because I put off accepting Gods grace until I was clean? My head knows that only Jesus can clean my cluttered heart. Why am I avoiding it like I am avoiding the mess in my home?
