Lucky's Spirit

I was so happy to have the company of my Mother for three weeks.  Sadly, on Wednesday it was time for her to fly home.  My relationship with my Mom has always been one of respect and love, but as I grow and have children - the respect grows as well.  She is a hard working elementary principal, she commutes five hours a day, and does everything with a smile on her face and a heart of joy.

The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart.

The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes." 

Psalm 19:8

So even though she leaves, her spirit of joy remains in this house.  Similar to the spirit of God that lives in us, guiding us in all our decisions and daily rituals.  It is so easy to compare God to a parent, because he is our Heavenly Father.  Just like my mother's spirit stays with me, so does Christ's.  I hope to inherit her zest and passion for life, it warms your heart and fills up the room.  And I ask Jesus for more of his heart everyday, the more of Him and less of me, the better I am. Jesus asks us to rejoice in him, to not hold tightly to things of this world, "for the joy of the Lord is our strength." (Nehemiah 8:10)
