| Gratitude |

| |
I wish I could always feel gratitude the way I should. I'm greatful that I don't have to smoke use drugs, drink, or carouse. I'm greatful, that when God puts his woman in my life that I won't feel guilty when I'm doing something that I was doing with some one else a little while before. I'm greatful most of all that while I was a sinner Jesus still died for me.
These are just a few things that pop to mind. Actually I'm feeling a little edgy right now, still learning how to stay in the spirit. 6:15 For having circumcision is nothing, and not having circumcision is nothing, but only a new order of existence.
make that 5:16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
I just finished taking the guys from the house to an AA meeting. It was hard enough watching the guys as they strutted around trying to make arangements to "hook up" after they leave the house. but occasionally thes lady or that lady would give me a major hug.
Knowing what I know about the fatal consequences I tried as well as I could to step back, but I left myself open to a lot of criticism from the guys who were telling me to "lighten up". Then I started to think wy am I so puckered up. I'm a little lonely and not looking forward to the upcoming holidays. But I now serve a risen savior. I reckon there are occasional attacks to look forward to and I guess the lonliness ticket is the enemies best attack, or the salvation of the family ticket.
But it really brinks up my demeanor and how it effects the Great commision; how do I come across do I come across as if I'm happier, if not maybe I need to be counting more blessings.
I also have tp think about how judgemental I am concerning others am I harbouring unforgiveness. Oh well that's for another BLOG I reckon. |

| sometimes if feel the same... holidays are very hard. |

| Trust me when I say this: It is much easier to serve the Lord single! Like Paul said, you WILL have trouble in the flesh if you marry....trust me! lol I am experiencing it. BUT, if it is your heart's desire to have a wife, the Lord can bring a beautiful in all aspects wife to compliment you...you just need to be patient. You are very wise to recognize the tactics of the devil. And really celibacy is a gift, Paul said it..and even Adam in the garden, with his unsevered relationship with God, was still not complete without his woman. So when God knows you are ready, and the woman He has for you is ready.....then ya know the rest of the story! lol But take full advantage and try to enjoy having this one on one with God. It is harder when your time is divided. Bless ya, Dave. Like I always say, I love your honesty, and some blessed woman will someday too! |

| Sorry to hear that the holidays are hard for you, Dave. If you lived here, I'd be inviting you over to our crazy house! (We've got quite the eclectic group coming for Thanksgiving, but it's always fun.) Lara is right, though. Time with the Lord as a single person has its own advantages. |

I agree with Lara. There is a focus you can have on only the Lord when you are single that is impossible when you are married. I also encourage you to enjoy this time as that you don't know when it will end. |

| Thanks for everyone's input. I generally agree. It's mostly difficult when I let the guys at work get to me. BLOGging is a good way to let off steam at 11:15 PM. I do apreciate the advantages of being single. As the season aproaches I hope we can remember the reason for the season. |
