Worship in the Day to Day


Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men...It is the Lord Christ whom you serve. ~Collosians 3:23-24


Do you ever struggle to see the spirituality and meaning in the day-to-day things you do? Sometimes, I think I have to do something big to make a difference for the Kingdom of God, like be a missionary in a foreign country, or something . But this verse reminds me that on some level, everything we do is spiritual.

Everyone who is a follower of Christ is a missionary to their own neighbors, their children, their co-workers etc. It is the people that we see regularly, that we can be the most effective in impacting.

If we realize the depth of that verse, then we will be worshipping God in "whatever you do" and then your day-to-day life becomes spiritual and meaningful.

Grandpa Breeze with Isaac

Here is a very short video clip of my Grandpa with Isaac a while ago. He served our country in World War II and has always been a very patriotic man. Here he is, showing Isaac his American flag.

Grandparents


I just wanted to let everyone know that my grandpa passed away on Dec. 17th, My parents 30th wedding anniversary. He was an AMAZING man along with my grandma they were an Awesome pair. They Loved the Lord with all their heart and soul. They will truly be missed. My grandparents were very layed back and simple people but to me they were like royalty, they just had that presence of being special. I can truly and honestly say that i have never meet anyone as selfless, caring and loving as my grandparents. It is very sad to think that my children will grow up not really knowing them.

Jesus, Thank you for allowing me to have such AMAZING grandparents that truly lived out your Love in there lives.....now they are with you in your presence..please tell them that i Love them.
