I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him 2 Timothy 1:12 New King James Version
When we become Christians just as Christ is our King, so too are we servants. As such we make a prayerful commitment to serve where He guides us. Making that commitment we have faith that He will provide the opportunities and tools to complete the task He has assigned for us to do. It need not be a huge commitment to serve as a missionary overseas, it may be a commitment in our communities like volunteering at hospitals or schools or other numerous opportunities.
A commitment to Jehovah is a commitment of service. Joseph- Anthony: Green
Another aspect is the daily commitment to serve in small ways like saying a kind word to a server at a restaurant or giving up your seat to an elderly riser on the bus and multiple other ways throughout the day.
“The stream of spontaneous acts of Godly kindness carries us to the sea of contentment and peace.” Constance Hurst-Howard
The benefit to you of course is the joy it brings to your heart. Of course there are many ingrates out there who will not have the decency to say thank you but keep in mind you are doing it for Christ’s praise, not the praise of others.
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13New King James Version
Prayer: Please Jehovah Chanan (God is gracious) bless me with opportunities to be as gracious to others today as You have been gracious to me. I humbly request this in the name of my beloved gracious king Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day

My goodness…we can speak to the Lord? (Kidding of course). There isn’t a time of the day nor a day of the year when we can’t pray to the Lord about something!
May you and yours have a wonderful holiday season and thank you for so much support during this past year!
God love and keep you,

My thought is that if I’m seen driving and talking, people will just figure I’m talking on my “Bluetooth”…LOL!
Anyway, just keep praying. It can be habit forming!

When I was tree planting we spent twelve hours a day, six days a week working by ourselves
When I was panning for gold out in the mountains I spent six days a week by myslef
When I bicycled from Canada to the bottom of the Baja in Mexico I spent six days on the road by myself.
If I did not talk with myself I would have gone insane.
Besides, it’s fun to watch people reactions when I pretend to get into an argument with myslef. lol
Have fun talkig with the fellow you see in the mirror every morning ha ha
