COURAGE FOR TODAY

Welcome To Courage For Today!!

Courage For Today is dedicated to the memories and stories I have of yesterday, as well as those that will be lived out today and tomorrow.  My goal is to share my Daily walk with Christ in a unique way, by using personal experiences, so that others might develop a deeper relationship with HIM.  My prayer is that Courage For Today will be your primary destination for today's Christian Resources.

No Room At The Inn

And she gave birth to her first-born son; and she wrapped him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.  Luke 2: 7 (NIV)

It's been quite a stressful few weeks for our family.  My daughter; son-in-law; and their three children have been making travel arrangements to return home for Christmas, from their Mission Home in China.  This trip was going to be especially trying because their third child was just born in November.  Before they could travel, they had to obtain their new daughter's U.S. Passport and travel documents.  Once that was in hand, it was off to Beijing; then a flight to Tokyo; then on to the U.S.  I've spared you a lot of details, but suffice it to say that the journey from their small China town to our home town in the U.S.; in time for Christmas, was nothing short of a miracle.  God's hand was truly on them during their journey.  What an exciting, tearful reunion it was this past Friday when they finally arrived at the airport. 

UnEducated and UnTrained

Now as they observed the confidence of Peter and John and understood that they were uneducated and untrained men, they were amazed, and began to recognize them as having been with Jesus.  Acts 4:13 (NIV)

I've been fortunate in life to cross paths with many, many different types of people and personalities.  I've met Presidents and CEO's of Major Corporations.  I've met famous politicians.  I've even met popular sports figures.  All in all, I guess you could say that I've been able to meet a lot of individuals that are held in fairly high esteem by the World's standards.

The World would look at these people and come to the conclusion that they were at the top of their respective fields.  Afterall, the Presidents and CEO's certainly must have advanced degrees and education.  The politicians certainly must have education plus all the "people" skills necessary to influence others.  And, of course, the sports personalities surely must devote their energy to hours upon hours of dedication and practice.  I think all of these things are probably true for the most part, but somehow that just doesn't impress me.
