Oooh, I would LOVE to sit down with you over coffee and discuss all of this! Too bad you’re not in the DFW area!

I think you’re right… it always comes back to the heart. I’ve been thinking about Christ words when he said, “Go and learn what this means, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ ”

I love your thinking while you type… keep it up! :)

Love this conversation. Wish we could have it face-to-face over coffee. :)
God blesses us beyond our imagination and that includes physical blessing…as we seek Him first. I like your thought pattern. I don’t think it is all to give away. I guess it comes back to the heart. Jesus is clear that for us to have that abundant life, our heart needs to be willing to give it all away should the opportunity arise. It all comes back to the heart.
So I guess new windows or track lighting ultimately isn’t the issue. It’s our heart. And He does pour out gifts upon His children. Just thinking as I type. :)

That’s so hard, isn’t it!? Trying to find a balance between enjoying what you have and giving to others… I’d LOVE new windows, but then I think about other needs, then lower electric bills, then others needs, and aesthetics… needs… and so on… wish I could find the answer… is it REALLY to give it ALL away?? Solomon says to enjoy what we have, but Christ says to give it all… man, your comment really has me thinking!!! Thanks for commenting! Sorry for rambling so much! ♥ Michelle

I think about this alot. Like when I wanted to put in track lighting in our kitchen and then I thought, “WHY?! People are starving and I want to put up track lighting?” Not that track lighting is wrong but it definitely puts things into perspective when you remember and then respond to the needs of others. Thanks for the reminder…and challenge.

LOL … that’s okay because I secretly wanted this post to get more comments to end up in my popular post sidebar widget… your loopy-ness just boosted it up! ;) Hope you are enjoying your crazy first day! I’m going to check out that site! Thanks!

I liked the other you sent me (http://hegavemeadream.blogspot.com) and commented there to get to know her… thanks for the suggestion!

Don’t know how I ended up commenting on this post … meant to comment on the one about design changes! ;0) It’s the first day of summer w/kids home. I’m a little loopy.

Thanks so much for your sweet and encouraging comments on my blog today! Made my day!! ;)

I think we’ve connected a little on Twitter, but hopefully we can more in the future now that we “know” each other!

A header would look nice… I know of a friend who taught herself how to do it. She said it took a lot of research and time, but it looks great … her URL is http://handshouseandheartfull.com if you want to check it out!

I’m following now! ;)
