Who Do You Follow?

What a great weekend sharing time with family. Giving thanks to God for all the good things that He give us, our new family members, and the new members that will be arriving next year. It is so nice be able to share good memories with family specially with the ones that you don’t get to see very often.

Today my brain is off after long great weekend. As I was trying to find what will be a good topic to write about, I read James 1:22-25 and make me think in how I live my life today, do I follow what I read in the bible? Do I practice what I heard in mass every Sunday? Do I forget what I learn about God, and how He wants me to live my life?

I realize that I really don’t live completely how God wants me to live, but I am sure that MOST of the time I truly try. How we can know if we are living the life that God wants us to live? Do we honor our parents? Do we are patient with them? Do we forgive their mistakes? Do we help them when they need us? Do we care about our families, brothers, sisters, and kids? Do we love our enemies? Do we are patient with the people around us?

I know we are not perfect, but just the act of trying from your heart, I believe will be pleasing God, because He knows that we are really trying to follow His example.

James 1:22-25
 ²² You must be doers of the word and not only hearers who mislead themselves. ²³ Those who hear but don’t do the word are like those who look at their faces in a mirror. ²⁴ They look at themselves, walk away, and immediately forget what they were like. ²⁵ But there are those who study the perfect law, the law of freedom, and continue to do it. They don’t listen and then forget, but they put it into practice in their lives. They will be blessed in whatever they do.
