Home for the Holidays (Okay....not quite yet)

Hey everyone! So I am back home on Thanksgiving break. Well, actually I have been home since Friday, but I went and worked at my camp till Sunday and then my parents had friends of theirs from New Hampshire come and stay with us till this afternoon. Pretty much it's been a lazy day, doing nothing but watching TV shows and movies with the family. Thursday is Turkey Day! I can't wait to stuff my face. And then after that.....its time to celebrate Christmas!!! Yay!! 


Today we did play 2 epic games of Cranium though. Let's just say that Dad and I were beast, but Lauren and Lee still won both games. Sigh. And I can't believe my dad couldn't guess my sculpture of an ash tray. Come on dad. hahahaha

Selfishness

I think the biggest thing that destroys us as humans is the concept of being selfish. The other day I was thinking about that me even thinking that someone is selfish is kind of selfish because I am being jealous of that person getting attention.


 Phil 2:3 says: "Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves."

More significant than ourselves. Is that humanly possible? I think we can all admit to at one time or another doing something for someone else...but not for them, but for ourselves. We get the attention for doing something helpful, nice, etc.


John 15:13 " Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. "

I think getting to this point is something that we are all going to continue to strive for until the day we go home to Christ.
