PAINTING A PICTURE

I'm not good with paint. I'm not even good penmanship that one can decipher. My hands do OK on the piano, but ask me to paint a picture....look out! Someones gonna get hurt!

We don't have to be great artists, yet we can still paint a picture. we can paint a picture in our minds of what certain things should be and look like and do; our preferred future.

For example, we can paint a picture of what our family should look like and accomplish and how we should function with each other. We can paint a picture of what our home will be like, what kind of a neighbor we will be, what kind of church we will become.

Once we see the picture, becoming 'all that', is a matter of steady forward motion. There was a writer in the bible who basically said the same thing, but he talked about moving forward toward the 'prize'.

What pictures do you have already? What pictures still need to be painted? Get out the brushes and the paint...paint a masterpiece!!!

MTC!
