What was I thinking?

I read something recently that urged me to think about what I'm thinking about. Left unattended, my mind is prone to wander and tends to get tangled up trying to solve life's problems before they ever happen. Psalm 77:12-14 teaches a healthier practice: "I will meditate also upon all Your works and consider all Your mighty deeds. Your way, O God, is in the sanctuary [in holiness, away from sin and guilt]. Who is a great God like our God? You are the God Who does wonders; You have demonstrated Your power among the peoples."

Imitators...

Our daughter is just entering that delightful stage where she is trying to imitate our silly expressions. It's adorable to watch. Looking into her bright eyes is like gazing into a mirror and seeing our own unspeakable joy smiling back at us. As children of God, we are called to mirror His image as well. Ephesians 5:1... "Therefore be imitators of God (copy Him and follow His example), as well-beloved children (imitate their father)."
