Colossians 3:1-11
If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. On account of these the wrath of God is coming. In these you too once walked, when you were living in them. But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is call, and in all.
Today I am thankful...
241. That there is no caste system in Christ and that I have a new self in Christ not concerned with how I measure up to others or worldly standards, but in my walk, and that when at the end of the day I am miles from where I need to be, I can look to the cross and rest.
242. for Jonathan's willingness to drive to Oxford and pick up Holt's cake
243. for getting off work early on a Friday
244. for Harper Ann's endless supply of tutus
245. for getting to visit and giggle with Catherine
246. for my grandmother and all the spring breaks I spent at her home
247. For cotton dresses on warm days
248. for my mom's help with anything and everything I ask her to help me with and for her seemingly endless knowledge of random trivia.
249. for my cousin Stephen and his recent baptism
250. for the Ramones
