Are You "Full of It?"

Hello Folks:

I know I havent been around since the end of August..Hadnt felt led to write about much..I am sorry for that..



Our Pastor preached last night (Wednesday) on "A Visitor at Christmas"..One of the verses he used was John 1:14



"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."



Sometimes as I sit listening to a sermon some other thoughts pop into my mind (good ones mostly..LOL) I thought of that verse above..The Word made flesh was Jesus Christ, of course..and He was full of "Grace and Truth..

The last few words of that verse.."full of Grace and Truth..leads me to a thought..In the day-to-day world we live in we have perhaps at work or at school or other places friends or other people we run into that are good fibbers ..not out and out liars necessarily but we might say they are good "storytellers"..And discussing these kinds of people we say that they are "full of it"..That saying understandably has kind of a bad connotation these days..

We dont often think of positive things we can be full of..such as:

full of faith-Stephen in the Book of Acts was full of faith
full of love
full of patience
full of hope-in the bad times
full of charity
full of integrity
full of the Holy Spirit..
full of encouragement

If we as Christians focus on The Lord a lot more, we can be full of all these attributes.and many more besides..
