Yesterday was a peaceful and awesome day embraced in the company of my God and my children. Interspersed between breakfast at my son’s and Thanksgiving dinner at my daughter’s, we watched the national dog show, worked on a quilt project, and talked about our blessings. After dinner, we went on a walk and enjoyed the cooler night air.

This morning, I needed to exchange the (quilting) rotary cutter blades (that I purchased last week) for a larger size which took me to one of my favorite places … Hobby Lobby. When I was at the counter making the exchange, I was offered a free booklet, “The Case for Christmas” by Lee Strobel. I accepted the booklet having read Lee Strobel’s book “The Case for Christ” many years ago.

Since I was already in the area, I stopped in at Dunkin Donuts for breakfast. (Imagine the smirk on my face please.) I opened the new book and started reading in Chapter 4, How The Messianic Prophecies Point to Jesus. Now let me say this. Maybe most people wouldn’t find that as leisurely reading and might not even bother. But, what it did for me was inspire me to really talk to God about the teaching videos that He has asked me to make starting in the new year.

Truly, I know that I was made for this. Teaching on Christian Apologetics seems to be weaved into my spiritual DNA. That’s probably not something that has much value financially or in making new friends. So it isn’t the coveted role for most people. But when you have been divinely ordained for such a purpose, you know that it is your main Kingdom responsibility.

Next week, I will turn 63 years old. The main concern that I have with making the videos is that I don’t want my old-lady face on big screen televisions (through YouTube) where every wrinkle and imperfection shows. I have asked my technology experts (adult children) how to make videos to adequately communicate the message without a full-screen image of me. However, I do think having my face on the screen allows for a more intimate conversation then not having it. This is where I am in the process, with more concerns than confidence.

After being reinvigorated by reading Lee Strobel’s booklet this morning, I’m thinking that maybe the old-lady face might be ok if the Kingdom is advanced. Of course, I say that today but when reality hits, I’ll probably be just as worried. I guess I could ask God to make me cute to prove that this is what He really wants. 😉 If I wake up one day soon, and am suddenly cute, I will make sure to give Him all the credit. LOL

I hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving!
