The Painting: An oldie. We are packing packing packing and the paints were packed today.
The Thought: I was reading something on Productivity. Is there productivity in your life? Every business is into profit and earnings. We constantly measure productivity even in our personal lives. How much equity has the house earned or lost in the past two years? How many 'A's" on the child's report card? How many things do we cross off our today list? Productivity is good to a point in our lives as it helps us evaluate our performance and achievements.
The bible defines it not only in terms of numbers but by relationships and our character. The most important thing is the bottom line of our character. Are you producing "good fruit" in your life? Could you do more to produce "good fruit"? Are you identified by others by the "good fruit" in your life?
What do you have to change in your life to produce "good fruit"? Our lives bear good fruit only when we stay connected to God. It is from Jesus death and in the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in us that we are able to use our 'new nature' to produce "good fruit".
Our day has been productive as far as packing. We took out time through out the day to stop together and give thanks for our progress. We are a team, God, Terry and I and together as a team will make this journey.
May your joy come from the reflection in your heart as we begin the Holy weekend that marks the great joy of the Risen Christ.
Laurie
