Sticking Together

I recently joined  a new home group called the “Stick Together” group.  I think it is one of the best decisions I have made in some time.  The group shows up everywhere their members are sharing and individuals seem to take an active role in each other’s lives – something I have not witnessed or felt in some time.

Tonight I am going to a local detox to support members that bring a commitment there.  I find myself drawn to the fellowship that I remember form the early days and seem to be craving lately.  I had recently been attending a meeting that felt as though it was slowly dying.  Every time I was there, I felt like I aged a few years.  I am glad that is over.  Whether or not it was me, the group or both (the latter being the likely), I decided to heed my sponsor’s advice and get away from it.  Interestingly. the meeting folded right after I announced I would no longer be attending.  I guess I am not the only one who thought it wasn’t working.

Anyway, I am so happy I joined this very active group.  I can already detect a difference in my attitude for the better.

I thank God for the fellowship that was instrumental in saving my life and continues to be so on a daily basis.

How about you?  Do you have a home group that you think is the best group of all?

A New Year of Possibilities!

2012 has arrived and with it (I hope and pray) a new attitude on my part and perhaps my wife's, as well.  I have resolved to surrender to my compulsive over-eating (which is ushering me toward insulin), get in better physical shape and get active in a Bible-based Church.  It has been a while since I have had a regular place of worship and I know it would do me a lot of good by bringing me closer to the Lord. Romans 8:28 King James Version (KJV)   28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Wanting To Do The Right Thing

We love because he first loved us. - 1 John 4:19 (NIV) This morning, I picked up my wife's copy of a devotional publication she receives called Our Daily Bread . In today's reading, the author talks about a children's ministry where the kids are rewarded for their good behavior with prizes. One boy, who is offered a reward for behaving well, refuses it and says that he behaves well because he wants to and doesn't need a prize for doing as he wishes. When we love God, we wish to please Him. We should all strive to be like that young boy in the story and do the right thing because we want to, expecting nothing in return. Of course, the hard part is that, as believers in Christ, we know there's a reward! So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. -2 Corinthians 5:9 (NIV)
