What’s happening in my home……?

In my kitchen… the cooler weather increases all the appetites, so I have stepped up bread making and included lots of warming foods in our menus.

With our marriage… still working on getting together a Bible study, choosing something to study is hard work!

With the children… the two youngest are excited about a trip to the mountains with their aunt and uncle. #1 daughter is working at her college classes, the two oldest are living life outside our nest and we’re proud of them both.

Around the homestead… time to get those Bougainvillas cut back and brought inside. I hate to do it, they are blooming so prettily. But its getting cold at night and I don’t have room for huge trees in my house…

In my “Inner Man”….. still studying the Fruit of the Spirit and trying to appropriate the Mind of Christ in me. Bible study with other ladies is so rewarding! We meet every Sunday night.

What is your Inner Man? In 2 Corinthians 4 Paul gives us a clue about what he means when he says “the inner man”. In that scripture he says that “our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day” (4:16 KJV). So for Christians even though there is something about us that is getting old, decaying and deteriorating and dying..there is also something about us that is growing, becoming more alive, richer and stronger every day we live and follow Christ. That is what Paul calls our “inner man.”
