Today, September 8, 2007 a special event is happening!
Today my husband (of 48 yrs.) and I will be attending the
50th Class Reunion of the graduating class of 1957. There
were 32 students in my class, in our very small town. (It is listed
as #8, fastest growing suburbs in the U.S. today.)
The remarkable thing about today is that all of those classmates
are still living and most will be attending. Most still live in the area.
(Maybe plants that grow where they were original planted do better
than transplants that have had their roots messed with.) Just a
thought.
Earlier in the year as the reunion was planned, my first thoughts were
to go on a diet, buy a stunning outfit, etc., etc. But after a while a
new thought emerged in my mind. Lord Jesus, I want to be presentable,
not flashy, nor fleshly, but I want to carry your glory inside me to these
precious classmates. I want them to see YOU in me. Will YOU shine forth
through me! Will YOU be the fuel (Oil) in my lamp (vessel). Will YOU be
the shade on my lampstand!
Today, knowing what I will be carrying to this 50 yr. class reunion, I
feel very confident in Him. I have endeavored to make sure my "lamp"
vessel is cleansed and made ready for HIM to shine forth!
Create in me, Your image O Lord,
Let me be all You've dreamed I could be.
And when You have finished with Your work in me.
I pray that JESUS is all they will see!!!
Blessings,
