Trust Fun-d?

The imperfect Christian heard one of the best testimonies that he had ever heard at a Homegoing service. Yes a woman that had already gone on to be with the Lord spoke volumes to us all that day from her casket! The priest from the Lutheran Church said that he had gone into Grandma Sweeties room, called her name and asked if she knew who he was. Grandma Sweetie said that she did not. He said well I just wanted to come back and check on you, and let you know that you can trust in Jesus. She replied according to the priest, "Oh Jesus I trust, but you I am not so sure about!" It was like her spirit spoke directly through him! She was a sharp little woman, and very gentle spirited, but firm all at the same time. Especially if she wanted more butter!

With that I had to ask myself, so I said... "self" and self said, "huh" sorry I just love Mr. Brown... OK on with my thought. My question was am I living a life that bears witness to the exaltation of Christ? OK now remember the blog title "A Day In The Life Of THE IMPERFECT CHRISTIAN," so I know that I am not walking in perfection. However, I should be walking toward the day of His perfecting me. I should with every endeavor look to please Him, even if I am falling short. So what am I going to do today that honors Him, and allows me to express my thanks toward Him?

So what was todays greatest challenge, and how was it overcome? I got to work on time, but not early like I had planned to. The car is in the shop, and funds are low, but tithes are paid, and I trust in Him.

What what todays greatest success, and how was it acheived? The day isn't over yet, but I am going to try, and make an attempt to right the wrongs that are heavy on my heart, and find the resolve in Christ.

Could it be that the greatest acheivment was overcoming the greatest challenge? Perhaps it will be, but I think my greatest success in this day is yet to come! I think my greatest success will be to obtain that Grandma Sweetie mentality! : )
