Today God had me hopping.  I love these days where the Holy Spirit nudges me into action with a pop-pop-pop! 

Philippians 2:1-11 is such important scripture...So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Bless and be blessed!  A young boy gave me this creative representation...The Screws.  He actually let me select one of his creations as a thank you for blessing his family.  To me the white screw represents Jesus.  It is the one screw that is directly connected to the ring of life.  The black nail reminds me of the suffering he did for me on the cross.  The red screw represents the blood he shed for me.  The yellow screw represents the resurrection and the hope I have through grace.  The brown screw represents others and their importance to Jesus.  Notice the yellow screw of hope and the brown screw of others are together and touching.  Others hope is found in Jesus through our service, ministry, actions. Today I was blessed.
