Let my talk be my walk

Good morning my friend,  In life we have many choices. I choose today to “let my talk be my walk.”

I wake up with ideas. People cal me “the idea man!”  A pastor told me one time that I have so many ideas that just listening to me makes him tired. Yes, that me. Sometimes they are good and sometimes they are not so good. A number of years ago, we had built the first duplex for missionaries and a small office building next to our side of the duplex. I needed a sidewalk because it was always muddy at the bottom of the steps.  I asked Al Mitchell, one of our volunteers, to make me a wooden sidewalk. I assumed he knew what I was thinking and would do it the way I was thinking.  Al spent a couple of day building this and when it was finished, it was very nice, but it was not done the way I was thinking. Seeing my frustration, my wife, Joyce,  said to me, “Larry, Al did a great job. He built a sidewalk just like you asked him to. But he did it the way he thought you wanted. If you want things to be made a certain way, you need to explain it to him or do it yourself.”

I Cor. 4:20, “For the Kingdom of God is not just a lot of talk, it’s living by God’s power.” Which will you choose?

Smile, God loves you and so do I!
