"If we live in the spirit, let us also walk in the spirit."

Galatians 5:25. If we claim to be Christians we need to walk the walk and not just talk the talk. Yes we will fall down and make mistakes, we will sin again and hate ourselves for doing it. But we repent and seek forgiveness and continue on the right path. There is a war that rages within all of us. The war between good and evil. There are powers loose on the earth that are not Godly. They seek to destroy us and draw us away from our walk with God. We have a sinful nature that we were born with. As a Christian it is a daily and often minute by minute task to flee from that nature and do what is right and holy. Being a Christian is not for the faint of heart. But we have a Comforter who lives inside of us and helps us to do what is right. Yes we do make mistakes. We are still sinners. But the difference is we are sinners saved by grace. We cannot earn it nor ever be good enough on our own merit. Jesus paid my sin debt. He can pay yours too. John 3:16.


I posted this on my Facebook page today. I hope it helps someone to see that we need to live what we profess. Yes we are imperfect and weak. But in our weakness God is made strong. He is the power behind our feeble attempts to do what needs to be done. We just need to be the willing vessel. 

On the home front, I managed to put up 7 pints of green beans this morning, The fresh ones were on sale and I bought almost five pounds. I hope to go pick up some more tomorrow. I have some sweet potatoes to can as well. I have the opportunity to go pick more sweet potatoes on Saturday. 

 I have been dealing with some health issues lately. Ear infections in both ears that did not want to go away. I did 10 days of antibiotics only to have the infection move to my sinuses.The ears are still not right but hopefully they will be soon. I start a new regime of different antibiotics tomorrow. Please pray that this time they will get better and I will have no more troubles.In the last year it has been bad for me with respiratory and sinus/ ear issues. 

  The days have been pleasant instead of so hot and muggy. I am enjoying it very much. Have a good day and tell someone you love them. Diana
