Sunday's - Challenges & Blessings

Today was "Daylight Savings" Time change which meant we "Lost an Hour" -- so, the time before heading to church was a bit shorter than usual....Today, we had a guest speaker who had been part of the "Promise Keeper's" weekend...his name was Kenny Luck from the Saddleback church....he spoke a great message that challenged us all in our relationships...."Grace not given out, is Grace wasted".....how we need to recognize in our relationships that we have an audience of "One" being God....and He is the one we live to please...how we need to listen to the Holy Spirit in all our relationships to ensure we are relating to others....that in all relationships "Conflict is inevitable, but distruction is optional"......He spoke of the Keys to healthy relationships ...how the Holy Spirit gives us Security, Humility, Comoraderie, Accountability and Urgency.....it was a great message.

After church we went to a cute little bakery on the way home....wow, could have bought lots (and had "something" to show for it if I ate it all....what a neat little "busy" bakery....we came home and enjoyed soup and fresh buns....then, had a nap to catch up on the lost hour.

Tonight we had our first "Love & Respect" group meeting....we had a really nice time meeting three of the five couples tonight...each with their own story, but all open to learn and improve on their marraige relationship....it was a really fun time and we are looking forward to meeting again next Sunday.

So...today, we've been challenged in our hearts to live our lives obedient to the Holy Spirit....to take every opporunity to allow God's love and grace flow from our lives to others and not just squander it for ourselves....and, we are blessed by God's forgiveness and Love which never fails and is unconditional....and, I enjoy life to the full with My Wife Janet....and with the wonderful people God brings into our lives. It's been a Great Day....looking forward to enjoying tomorrow as we have another "Day off Together" and not having to head to work in the morning.
