But how blessed we are and what a blessing we can be in His church and in building His kingdom when we stop and listen to what He wants us to use our gifts for. And how mightily we can be used when we do stop and listen.<BR/><BR/>Good post Kim, thanks.Brigittehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11995447205943617624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21789110.post-1163567618048931572006-11-14T23:13:00.000-06:002006-11-14T23:13:00.000-06:00Kim, did God's laugh sound like Morgan Freeman or ...Kim, did God's laugh sound like Morgan Freeman or more like James Earl Jones?

Then I got burned out - He put a stop to a lot of things. Now I only serve where He wants me to serve :). <BR/>Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this week's CWO quote.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21789110.post-1163555347753753192006-11-14T19:49:00.000-06:002006-11-14T19:49:00.000-06:00Gold, silver and precious stones are the foundati...Gold, silver and precious stones are the foundations we must lay.

It is all about motives, why you are doing it, not what you are actually doing. God favors the person who would quietly fold and staples, but is doing it out of a desire to truly serve, over someone who, say, paints the entire church, but is doing it to hear praise from others. Great post today. Still praying for your family.

It is such a bad habit to do things in our own strength, when we think we have much to offer. Thank you for these thoughts again today. <BR/><BR/>Praying for your other situation - I'm glad the song soothed your soul yesterday.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938607712512860569noreply@blogger.com
