Be holy, because I am holy.

Be holy, because I am holy. (Leviticus 11:44)

We're in Leviticus now in BSF. A drab list of rules. But Lord, I want to hold on to the line above. Be holy, because I am holy. How can I be holy in my day ahead?

Isabel's class Christmas party, carpet guys installing, Isabel's chorus concert at Hightower. 

I pray for Lily as she prepares her first speech (on Christmas traditions). I pray that she won't be nervous tomorrow when she gives it, and that she'll slow down, and make eye contact, and most of all that she'll enjoy it. I pray for Lily, for protection over her, for self-control, for focus. And I pray that her delightful spirit will brighten the world. She has brightened mine.

I pray for Isabel as we try to decide what to do about swimming. Looks like we're going to let her quit. Lord, I pray for a way forward to keep her mind and body healthy and active. 

I thank You for Hubie's gracious response to my email  yesterday.

I pray for my manuscript, sitting in Katherine's in box. I pray that she would find time to read it, and I pray that I would continue to focus on You as I wait to hear from her.

Please remind me to "be holy because I am holy."

In Your son's name I pray.

Amen
