James 1:19-2:17
Hearing and Doing the Word
19 Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; 20 for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.21 Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. 24 For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. 25 But the on
e who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.
26 If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless. 27
Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.

Julia had a good week of it...and I only a little tidbit.
I know it is rough when the body is down...and I agree the spirit gets down too.
I pray you are all well real soon and that you find yourself thriving both physically and spiritually.
And if I was there....I'd go to the grocery story for you. ;)
Love ya girl
I think when we're not feeling well we don't feel like doing much of anything. That's when the beauty of music/Christian TV/teaching tapes come in real handy. I do hope you feel better soon.
Sorry to hear that you're family has been hit by the nasty bug! :(
Maybe this will help brighten your day. I've given you a blog award. You can pick it up over at WordVessel.
Hope your weekend is especially blessed! :)
