What’s happening in my home?….
In my kitchen… trying to keep the kitchen clean is quite a task during this season of baking and cooking. I’m doing OK at it, but it doesn’t satisfy me. I really need to keep the children more accountable with their individual chores in the kitchen… that or do it all myself which is what I truly am tempted to do.
With our marriage… we’re on the same page with Christmas, spending, Bible study and more. Its a good season.
With the children… just three more days of school work until time for Christmas Break. We will break this year until January 4th. They are having a hard time concentrating and so am I!
Around the homestead… the rain continues off and on. Its getting colder though and physically, I can take the cold better I can the rain. It seems like this old house does better when everything freezes. At least I don’t worry about it rotting away when its frozen!
In my “Inner Man”…. this has been a good few months leading up to Christmas. Its less stressful at Church because we’re not doing a complicated program. Its less stressful here at home because I am not having a lot of get-togethers. The lack of stress has freed my mind up to focus on Christ and what He has done.
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.”
Now its your turn! What is happening in your home this week?
