Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Night Crew
May 21, 2012

Pat’s first job was working on the night crew at a grocery store. After closing time, he and the other employees stocked the shelves. Pat’s boss had instructed them to always turn the soup cans forward so that the label could be read easily. But he had gone a little further by saying, “Make sure that they’re facing forward—three cans back.” One night as Pat was arranging the shelves, his co-workers began to scoff, “Just make sure the front can is turned the right way. Who’s gonna know?”

It was a moment of decision for the teenager. Should he obey what his boss had asked him to do, or just do what was easy?

We’ve all been in similar situations where we’ve had to make a choice. The apostle Paul encouraged his fellow believers to be obedient even when no one was watching: “Bondservants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing God” (Col. 3:22).

Doing the right thing should not be dependent on whether our employer is around or if anyone else is watching. It’s not always easy or convenient to be obedient. But it’s right.

Remember, “to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin” (James 4:17).

Lord, help me to follow Jesus,
To obey Him day by day,
To be His faithful disciple
And please Him in every way. —Fitzhugh

Our character is measured by what we do when no one is looking.

Read: Colossians 3:22-25

Obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing God. —Colossians 3:22

Bible in a Year:
Job 25-27

Always glad to be here with kindred spirits.

Feel a little stronger each day, and am doing more for myself. Easy to walk down steps but harder to get back up them. I have to call the doctor’s office Tue and give report and find out when stitches come. Itch like crazy under all these bandages, no sign of welting (adhesive reaction like my poor husband had to the steri strips, we ended up treating that like poison Ivy) so it is the good healing kind of itching.

We watched the Longest Day last night, so many have forgotten that part of our history as our WW2 Vets are going home to Heaven at such a high rate these days.

Good way to start the week and I can think of nothing finer than saluting OUR UNITED STATES OF AMERICA’S FLAG!

You’re a Grand Old Flag

“Keep me praying, keep me trusting
Every step along life’s way!
Keep me waiting, keep me watching,
For He may return today! —Thiesen
Look for Christ’s return and you’ll live for Christ’s glory.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An excellent mantra for everyday ...

[geologist]

Do all things as unto the LORD.
He is watching, and knows our heart.

Thank you, GG! I laughed at the whole thing. We who have
had cats know how conceited and bossy they are but oh,
sooooo lovable. I kinda liked the litter box remark, too.

I try to keep on fighting with the back...I’ve done every
thing possible, whatever the doctors suggest. The pills
help some but who wants to take those all the time!!

Hope all is well with you and your doggie! I can’t stay
on the thread long at a time and sometimes not at all. That
aggravates me, too! Glad to “see” you!

[jaycee]

Gail, its good to hear from you and that you’re making
progress. I know about the itching as in my past I’ve
had several serious surgeries. You just feeling like
digging into it BUT know you can’t! When your stitches
come out, you can at least rub it lightly and put some
cream or lotion on it, maybe Palmer’s lotion. It is so
good on all parts of the skin (but I think it causes my
finger nails break.) I use Johnson’s baby lotion a lot,
it smells so good and doesn’t break my nails either. LOL!

My prayers will continue for you!

~Happy Monday to Amy's Place~

I just had to post this picture!
I just thought it was so sweet.
This picture titled its
own self and I bet you all know.
Its titled "I love my Daddy"!
Some day this picture will be
worth gold to her Daddy as he
walks her down the aisle.

[MEG33]

Just so dear and precious, jaycee.

[jaycee]

Thank you, Meg. They have 1000’s of pictures of her but
this one is my very favorite! It almost brought tears to
my eyes.
