Upgrade

Last night our son said something both humorous and poignant. He said that when he upgrades he'll be a man. Oh if it were only that seemingly simple.

How many of you moms wish that you could upgrade the version of you that looks and feels younger? A version that had the unending energy of your children to keep up with them, clean the entire house, run errands for your hubby, bring your kids to therapies, cook dinner, and still have the energy to spend intimate, quality time with your husband before peacefully falling asleep without crashing into bed. Sounds wonderful,doesn't it?

Well, let's not forget that we're princesses of our Most High, Lord, God, and Savior, Jesus Christ! Ephesians 4:22-24 NIV says "You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness." John 3:5 NIV says "Jesus answered, 'I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, 'You must be born again.' The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.' " By our choice, governed by our God, we have been upgraded to be more like Him.
