Day 6: (Do the Write thing): Not what I wanted/Just what I needed

Do the Write thing 30-day series.  (write out this bible passage today - by hand! - in your favorite translation)

Day 6

1 Thessalonians 5:12-18

This reading contains quite a few things that I easily agree to - and then walk the talk in the other direction.  It's stuff I need to do - but don't want to (because of my sinful nature).

Things like:

• Overwhelm my leaders with appreciation and love!
• Be cheerful no matter what.
• Thank God no matter what happens.
• Be patient with each person.

Song - Walking on Sunshine (Katrina and the Waves)

God,
Today - thanks for the reminder to "get over it!".
The me-first attitude that trips me up as soon as I get out of bed.
You show and tell me what I need to do.
Infuse me with your Word and power to do it!
Walkin' on sunshine!
Amen.
