Sharing Life Together…One Sip At A Time

 
Welcome, friend.

I hope
you’ll pull up a chair and make yourself comfy while I’ll pour us a
cuppa tea. Imaginary tea, after all, is always special.

I’m asking God to STIR us, awakening us to His Word that we might allow it to STEEP deeply into
our souls. As we take a moment to SIP on one word this week, my prayer is that it will move us to the point of action.

So, how was your holiday weekend? 

Ours was great! Bucky’s BBQ, time with the family, and an opportunity to attend our former church, where Brian played drums for their patriotic music service. Old Glory surged through my veins, exposing a gap in gratefulness of the heart—both as a citizen of the United States and more importantly, a primary citizen of heaven.

 
Heavenly Father,

Open our eyes and stir our convictions as You reveal places of ungratefulness in our lives. Those places lacking honor for the sacrifices made on our behalf.
Places blinded by busyness, selfishness, and ignorance. 

Amen. 

 

Father, will you steep Your Word deeply into our soul? 
Make sure you don’t take things for granted and go slack in working for the common good…Hebrews 13:16 The Message
 
 
 
  
Is there one particular word from the above scripture you feel 
led to “sip” on, to meditate on, throughout this week?
   
———————————–

My word this week is “you.” This tells me it’s my responsibility to see—really see—people, things, and circumstances with fresh, appreciative eyes. 


Before
we bring our time to a close, consider one tangible way to “pour”
out His truth in response to the word(s) we’ve chosen above. 
Thanks for stopping by today at Sharing Life Together…One Sip At A Time. Would you consider joining in the conversation by leaving your “word” in the comment box? Blessings!
He
does not delight in the strength of the horse; He does not take
pleasure in the legs of a man. The LORD favors those who fear Him, Those
who wait for His lovingkindness. – See more at:

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him,
so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. 

Romans 15:13
 

Hebrews 13:16 in Action

There are a multitude of ways for us to sacrificially give to others this season. A few ideas we may want to consider:

  • Samaritan’s Purse Christmas catalog. We’ve used this resource for awhile now. It’s a great way to get our children involved as some of the gifts are $5.00 and $10.00. They can see how their money will provide what they consider the basics of life for another child. You can also purchase a gift in memory or in honor of a loved one.

I’m just skimming the surface here. I’d love to hear your ideas! If applicable, share a link with us. 

Blessings!

Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God. 
Hebrews 13:16 ESV
