it may be 19 degrees but spring is coming!??!

I do my daily reading Matthew 25:31-46





Lord when did I see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink?
When did I see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you?
When did I see you ill or in prison, and visit you?
'Amen I say to you, whatever you did for the least of my brothers that you did for me.'
and




Leviticus 19: 1, 18

Be holy, for I, the Lord, your God, am holy...
You shall love your neighbor as yourself.



...and I think I'm doing okay...big family dinner last night, fed all four hungry kids.
(One home for spring break, the other home from out of town to visit the one who is home!!!
The other two wanting to come over just cause the other two were home!)
yeah they like each other

...and I do hospice...




and then I walk into the kitchen...and there all over the counter are the remnants of my husband's breakfast...and I think why can't he close a cupboard, or after cutting something open put the scissors back in the drawer and throw the wrapper in the trash, and put the bag the bagel came from in the recycling!?!?




and I think if Jesus had to make himself breakfast in my kitchen...
Jesus would've cleaned up, wouldn't have He?!?!




Well probably, I would have made sure I made breakfast for Him, hopefully...
which I obviously didn't do for my very own husband!!?
Who is right here in my very own day to have and to hold...all the days of my life...




And I think...I'm not doing so well at all, am I?



Instead of being thankful to be cleaning up after the wonderful man God has placed in my life...
I do it begrudgingly...

How holy is that?
How is that seeing Jesus in everyone?!



and I realize how far I still have to go
and I am so thankful... to have yet another day, to grow...to learn...to serve...to love...
