Going "Green"

First and foremost let me say I have not been in my word much since summer began I got caught up in other things and got lazy.  Today I opened my Bible to James and read the first chapter and the last verse jumped out at me.


James 1:27  
"27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."


I am polluted by worldly things and when I allow myself to be polluted and do not combat that pollution with God's word and being in constant contact with him I pollute everything around me.  I have become like a smog spewing factory that pollutes the attitudes of those around me especially my family.  I felt like God was saying to me today "My beautiful child stop polluting yourself and those you love, fill yourself with my love and clean the "air" around you."


So I am going "green" instead of filling myself with things of this world I will fill myself with the words of my God and praise him for all the good in my life.  My hope is that not only will I be able to breathe easier but the ones I love will no longer be polluted by my bad attitude.
