Today would be the last day of the world if we were Mayan. That would be a good thing for the clothes I have worn for the last 30 days. I have had a few casualties; holes in shirts, pants, hook and eye failure on my skirt, but nothing that prevented me from wearing them. I must admit I am extremely grateful for all that I have and am looking forward to pulling out some warm sweaters so I don't have to be cold all the time. I am also looking forward to wearing some different pants and shorts when I work out. It has been so hot at the gym!
Anyway...tomorrow starts our month of giving away. Giving away parts of ourselves as well as physical objects. I have noticed that we have WAY TOO much stuff in this house that was not missed this last month. I did begin a bit early and gave away 26 pairs of shoes to the Amherst Middle School shoe drive for Soles for Souls. That was last week. No household should have that many shoes to give away. I also gave a winter coat to a little boy in the kindergarten classroom I volunteer in each week. We are blessed with so much.
This month I am going to try and see what it means to live out Micah 6:8.
"He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God."
What does it mean to act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with God? What are your thoughts?
