What does the abundant
life look like to you?
Last week, one of
my favorite phrases was, “ You are living the life!” What did I mean? This is in part what I meant… It is a blessing
to enjoy good health and resources where you are able to travel and enjoy special
times with family. Living the
blessed life does not consist of material resources or possessions.
Last week, we
were able to spend time in South Carolina. At our last night in the area, we
met a delightful couple. As we were waiting for a table, we had a pleasant
conversation. Our conversation ended when Jerry
and I were escorted us to a table.
Once seated at
our table, I asked,” Jerry, I wonder if they would like to join us for dinner.”
Our conversation
lingered over dinner, dessert and tea. Tim
and Joan are a wonderful example of how living in obedience to Christ allows us to enjoy His blessings and endure the struggles in life. Struggles
allow us to depend on God and rely on His strength.

| Tim and Joan… new friends… Who will you invite to dinner? What lessons will they share with you? Joy is contagious! |
As my teaching
leader so beautifully said this week, “ Jesus forgives our sins so we can walk
and live abundantly for Him.” A blessed life is not about living a self
centered life.
This is what Jesus
said in the Gospel of John,
“ I have come
that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
John 10:10 (b) … (New
King James Version)
