My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread Author, Xochitl Dixon  … AT THIS LINK       … related a story of a teacher, named Alan, who was a camp counselor for adults at a summer retreat which was to teach entrepreneurial skills.  And early in the camp activities, a camper called out Alan for being “a Christian,” noting that Alan’s words and teaching were Christlike

And if my readers have taken in the linked song and meditated on the Scriptures provided above, I’m praying we all are living out our lives to be like Christ or become ambassadors for Christlikeness; … lives that look like Jesus and call us all to live like He lived for us. Personally, I want to be a “foot-washer” like my Savior (see photo).  How about you?  

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You, … Lord … for calling me to follow Your ways and to be Your witness every day in this world. 

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I praise You, Lord. … for being our Model in living to serve and represent You in this world. … Amen
