I've run across a number of religious blogs, this is the first once that feels explanatory and influencing of views rather than absolute in nature. Keep up the good blogging! David - Chicago´s latest blog post: Speaking Of Facebook - It Needs Change Management of Customer Service

I wanted to stop by for a visit and thank you for stopping by to visit me!

My parents also instilled the “do your best” into my childhood. And, this has carried with me into my adult life. Most of the time, when I knew I could have done better, they knew it, too. If I came home with a test that was “below the mark”, they would just ask me, “Is this your best?” No condemnation, just that simple question. If I could answer truthfully, that “Yes, this is it, my best” than that was all there was.

But, many times, inside, I knew that I could have done better and just didn’t.

God only asks of us what He knows we can handle, what we can achieve at our best for Him. If He asks something of us–even if it seems like something out of comfort zone, know that He will be behind us–providing with the know how, the strength and the tenacity to carry it through.

My own children (3 of them–all grown up now) are nonbelievers. I don’t quote scripture to them or bash them over the head insisting that they believe the same as I do. Instead, I live my life with Jesus’ shining light–knowing they have seen the changes in me. God will lead them to follow Him in His way, in His time.

Great post! I am glad you had them in your life and that their influence on you was so positive.

Hopeful Spirit, I am wanting to spread the word about the Statue of Responsibility that is underway. I have a YouTube clip on my site if you care to watch it. I would like all my blogger friends to become aware of it and possible spread the word. This project inspires me.

Thanks for that very great and inspiring thought! I guess, no matter how many times we fail and stumble down, we still got one person and Him our creator. We still continue doing our best to achieve goals/dreams in life.

Listening to my parents' voices in my head has always guided me in the right direction as well. Timmy's latest blog post: How Does Asbestos Cause Cancer?

This Colossians verse is so nice. It reminds us on what our true purpose in life is. We naturally serve. Whatever our position or situation may be, we ae always serving. It is our nature to render service. Even the President of the country or some big dude on the highest rank is still serving the people under him. However, if we just serve and serve just for anyone, we will notice that we are not happy. Yes we do experience some happiness and satisfaction from helping, serving others. But in the end, there is still something missing. That is because we neglected to serve the Lord Who is worthy of all respect, worship and our unconditional love just as He unconditionally loves us. Simply speaking, whatever we do should be done in service for the Lord and in that way we can actually taste the nectar of the sweetest love which He freely gives everyone. By knowing that our actions should be for the pleasure of God, we can also know what and what not we should be doing. Generally, this should be a guiding point for everyone. Go back to the basics and that is to simply love God.
