Doing our Best

September 17

Filling in for Mama Boo today...

Boo is obviously desperate to move things along as quickly as possible; who wouldn't? So, the dilemma of the day (so far) was somewhat humorous. Trying to make the best impression on the doctor as to her state of recovery and hopefully moving out of the hospital to the next stage of rehab, should she:

A) after showering, put her nice nightgown on, fluff up her hair, even put a smattering of make-up on, which she normally avoids, and risk the doctor thinking this woman is trying to use her "wiles" to get out of here (that was my thought, not hers) or,

B) look disheveled and risk the doctor thinking she doesn't even care about getting out and getting better!

She went with option A simply because for her, doing anything less than her best is not an option. Mama Boo is sold out for the Lord. In fact, I often refer to her as being a member of the NFL... Nut for the Lord!

So, the message for the day is doing our best for the Lord, regardless of the limitations we face at the  time; easy for me to say but I am indeed witnessing someone do this.

Col. 3:23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.
