Well, it is 2008! Chelsey and I stayed up and watched the new year come in....Gene gave up and went to bed at 11:30.....I probably would have joined him but didn't want Chelsey to be alone to celebrate. Then we had a leisurely day today. Chelsey got an AMC gift card for Christmas, and she treated us to a movie -- National Treasure 2 Book of Secrets. What a fun movie. It was just enjoyable without all the objectionable language and intimate scenes. If you've seen the 1st one, I definitely recommend it.
Yesterday, Marge (click here) posted about what you would want someone to say about you at your funeral. Well....I have to say, after listening to Mickey's message on Sunday at CrossWay ( click here to listen) and then Marge's post, I've been thinking about that. I began thinking about the kind of things that people say to me or about me now. Those things are very encouraging, and a blessing to me, and I treasure them all, but the one thing that I would want people to say about me first and most often is this: "She really loved the Lord." Now I know in my own heart that I do not love the Lord as much as I really want to, and that really struck me as I walked away from church on Sunday. Sooooo, all this to say that this is what I want to focus on for the new year....I want to grow in my love for the Lord. I know that I can't do this completely in this life, but I do want to grow in loving the Lord with all my heart, with all my soul, with all my strength and with all my mind. That's a lot, but that is where I want to be.
