A few years ago, I bought a new car.

As soon as I drove it off the lot, I started to see so many cars on the road exactly like mine! Same color, same style, same everything!

I had never noticed before how many people were driving this same car.

My eyes were opened and suddenly I saw this car everywhere!

It is the same with our spiritual eyes…

When we ask God to open our spiritual eyes, we begin to see things that we never saw before.

My kids left last Sunday to go back to school.

A little piece of my heart left with them.

For a full month, I enjoyed them being back home.

The house was messier, loads more laundry, more dishes to clean…

And I loved every second.

Although my heart was sad when they left, it has been nice getting back on a routine.

Creature of habit that I tend to be, I was ready to get back to my regularly scheduled program. :)

“Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then, the God of peace will be with you.” Philippians 4:9

As I came across these words of Paul, my mind jolted back to something I read many years ago. It was a book on marriage.

The author said, “Whatever you practice in your daily life is what you will eventually become.”

She was teaching on the kind of attitude we have towards our spouses. If we practice bitterness, we will become bitter older women. If we practice laziness, we will become lazy.
