Back from vacation! We visited 8 states in only 2,610 miles... what was I thinking! Anyway, the Harris family vacation was good and we enjoyed almost all of it (we did do a lot of time in the mini-van... maybe just a little too much).
Today was Labor Day and what a day of labor it was... a lot of yard work to catch up on. This evening has been busy getting the kids ready for the start of school tomorrow. Angela and I are praying for the kids as they enter into this year... And for a smooth transition for our oldest entering into middle school. I pray that good choices will be made by my children as they face new challenges in life.
Speaking of choices... one of my devotional readings today had a profound statement "Today's poor choices are a down payment on tomorrow's problems." Let me tell you... I've made plenty of poor choices, some I've paid for in full, others I'm not certain have caught up to me yet. But I know that my God forgives and will see me through any situation that may come my way. I can trust in my Savior to pick me up and set my feet on solid ground. But sometimes I wonder why!
My scripture reading today took me to the book of Psalms, chapter 8. In this chapter I read, "When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?" Who am I that GOD would care so much about me... I am His creation, I am His child, bought back from the debt of sin (caused by my choices) through the sacrifice of the One and Only Savior of the world; Jesus the Christ.
