The One Who Holds Me Accountable

God,

make me accountable to you for everything I do;

make me accountable to you for my faithfulness in relaxing,

in giving my mind and my body rest.

Thank you for being such a loving Master. Amen.

My Helper

Divine Helper, forgive me for trying to make you into someone who helps me further my plans.  Teach me instead to rely on you, the Helper, so that I can further your plans.  Amen.

The Lord helps me! Why should I be afraid of what people can do to me?  Hebrews 13:6

The Lord is on my side, and I am not afraid of what others can do to me. Psalms 118:6

The Compassionate One

Compassionate One, thank you for loving me with an emotional love; thant you that your heart is touched with my pain, my heartaches, my disappointments. You care. Your really care.  Thanks.  Amen.

Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you .

1 Peter 5:7

The Normal Christian Life

The blood can wash away my sins, but it cannot wash away my "old man" (Rom. 6:6).  For this we are in need of the Cross, that the old man be crucified. Though the blood deals with sins, it is the Cross that deals with the sinner. ~Watchman Nee

Thank You

In The Pink

Ever wonder why you can't tolerate broccoli or brussels sprouts? You may be a "supertaster." Supertasters are people who have a high number of taste buds and are very sensitive to pungent (and, in particular, bitter) foods.  To find out if you're one of them, try this test: Swab blue food coloring on the tip of your tongue.  The dye will cover the tongue, but the fungiform papillae the structures on the tongue that house the taste buds will stay pink.  Punch a hole in the middle of a one inch square of wax paper; place it on the tip of you tongue. Then, using a magnifying glass and flashlight, count the number of pink dots within the hole.  Supertasters have dozens.  If this is you, try adding these veggies to soups they lose some of their taste and eat extra portions of veggies you enjoy.
