Living with the Spirit

I really don’t know what I would have done without my wife over these past few months.  Everything has been so crazy recently, and she has accomplished so much.  However, this was her first official week back at work.  (Just when I thought we were getting the hang of this parenting thing, it’s all about to change!)  Now, by the end of the day, I’m tired, burnt out, and exhausted, and that’s usually when the baby starts crying… J

I know I am incredibly blessed.  However, after too many stressful days in a row, I can easily forget about those blessings.  I’m just trying to get through the day.  In the midst of all of this, I was drawn to the words from the Apostle Paul:

“Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you. This is a gift from God…For you were bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body.”

-1 Corinthians 6:19-20

God's Spirit is alive in us!

The life we live is sacred!  God’s Holy Spirit is living inside of us.  We are called to live each day glorifying God in all that we do.  When I’m overwhelmed or in a bad mood, I am choosing not to cherish the gifts of the Holy Spirit within me.  This week we are celebrating the Holy Spirit.  God is at work in each one of us.  It does not matter what is going on in our lives. God is with us, and God values us.  May we each find new life with the Holy Spirit this week!

Blessings!

We can choose to see joy or obstacles.  God calls us to believe in
His Spirit
