In Control

Are you in control of your life? Not really. Things may look like it but guess what. Nothing happens without God knowing what's happening or more actually intervening. We say "How can God be God if He does nothing in such and such a case?" Who are we to tell God what He should do and shouldn't do? Did we create the earth? Did we set the pregnancy of an elephant much less an amoeba? Can we set clouds in the air? God can. And does. And is therefore entitled to our deepest respect.

Rain

Rain is like heat or snow or any other weather. Either you accept it's there for a reason or you absolutely wonder why the weather can't be perfect all the time. How does that show love of God and His power and glory. I am mystified that we have such a God, that His power is not just in His love but is evident within what He created. May we never forgot that God is God almighty!

Being There

We live in a universe where people are bipolar. And use that as an excuse for anger. And use that as an excuse for not doing their job. And finally use that to give into the pain that ensues from depression. We recently saw such pain in Robin Williams, an obviously troubled soul, loved by so many yet convinced that this life was not worth putting up with anymore. Only he and God know why he came to this decision. But we all do that, do we not? Even though we have a decided sphere of people who love us and care for us, we make decisions that say, "Well this life is too hard right now and I cannot handle it". And so we become bingers, either of food, alcohol, sex, whatever is the thing that gives us instant gratification. Jesus turned to God and said "Father please take this away". (my interpretation is that life was becoming a little too hard for him to bear). But then he prayed, "Yet not my will but thine". The only separation we see of Jesus and God and I believe that was to demonstrate to us that yes things will get unbearable, but God will somehow, someway get us through. Thank you God!!!!

School time!

Time to start the learning again. A time to grow. A time to explore. A time to thank God for our many blessings. We love the Father for this opportunity and all the opportunities He gives us. May His blessings never go unthanked.

Time Passes On

Under the clock I sit

And think of times

Times now preserved in my memories

Times that are special

   Just to you and me

Where we shared coffee

And meals

And laughter

And tears

 

I relied on your strength

And as always you were there

Although I didn’t realize it

You relied on my knowledge, my words

And sometimes I was there for you

And sometimes wasn’t

But you always forgave me when I wasn’t.

 

My sister, my friend

I thank God

You were and are still there

And that the memories will continue to bloom

And we will always be…

People can sometimes be like light switches. One minute sweet and kind and pleasant. The next mean and unpleasant and hurtful. All of us have been like that...it is why Jesus came, because we need God's grace to make it. We lie, we say mean things, we hurt each other, but God is a wonderful forgiving God, May God always grant us peace and serenity to be like Him. Oh to be like Him....Oh to be like Him...Jesus the Saviour...pure as thou art...
