A few gentle reminders from God that were placed in my path yesterday at church and on a blog that I follow.

Jesus died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again. --2 Corinthians 5:15 It is my prayer that the Lord would empty me of myself and fill me with his Spirit. Help me to be a steward of all that You have entrusted to me for Your glory. Please let the love of Christ shine through me even in my most strained relationships. Thank you for forgiving me! Jesus said, "Your sins are forgiven." Luke 7:48 Please help me to live like my sins are FORGIVEN!

Dying to self is a hard thing to do. It's definitely not the culturally acceptable thing to do. Culture says "Take care of yourself!" or "Do what you want to do." The Bible tells us in I Corinthians 13:5 that "love is not rude and it is not self-seeking." That's the basis for pushing through the selfishness and going the extra mile for someone you love. --Mark Savage

This is a video of Rylie (& Isaac) singing one of her favorite songs and doing the motions that Alyssa taught her. I love to hear them singing about what God has done for them.
