Watch What You Throw Away

Today I went to throw out some trash and when I looked in I found that my nephew had added to the trash. There on the top was the DVD / VCR player remote and His favored sippy cup. He is now in the habit of helping us clean and though it is cute we have to keep a close eye on what he puts in the trash now. And I got to thinking…..

How much do we Christians take for granted? How many important things do we forget, treat like trash, take fr granted, or throw out?? Take a minuet and look over your own life right now……………

Personally I am not taking the time I need to with God, to strengthen myself and to lean more. Also I have let the Devil use my anger towards those I love.. It is not all the Devil’s fault. I have a free will but I didn’t stop myself. Plus more… I am ashamed of myself and I need to work at paying more attention to what is important in life……… A missing shoe compares not to a sad sister.. Small example…

Metaphorically if we look at what my nephew threw out I think of. The Remote – Control over our own actions, thoughts and words.. VERY IMPORTANT! The Sippy Cup – I think of the living watter that quenches our thirst.. Jesus… MOST IMPORTANT! Where would we be with out him. I know I would be dead for sure…. But what else is important to you?? For me it is God-Jesus-The Holy Spirit, My Bible, My family, Friends, My Pets My Home, My Car, food, and my books.. Other then that nothing else matters to me really……

What can you do to your life to remind yourself not to throw away what is important in life?? Make a list, think about it, pray about it……….

God Bless you!!

I fell and Was Reminded

Last weekend I fell down. I was out of town and running important errands. I had a lot on my mind and I was literally driving in circles trying to find this a place I had to deliver a book too.I was not yet late but was worried I would be.

I was extermly excited when I found the place. I parked, rushed out of my car and tripped. I dropped the book to save my head from hitting the concrete, and I caught myself with my hands. I was very shaken up. I am accident prone but not that bad usually. I had come across very few sincerely nice people on my trip. To my surprise I had many people come to my aid. I felt extremely blessed for their kindness and help. When I was able to examine my wounds I saw that my hands were bloody.

I was reminded of Jesus and how he had nails hammered into his hands and I wept. Matthew 27 (whole chapter) And John 3:16 For God So Loved the World, that He gave His only begotten son. So that who soever believes in him shall have everlasting life.

The pain Jesus must have felt I could never imagine. And the blood he spilled for us….. I do not feel worthy of that all the time. I make mistakes, I get mad, I hurt peoples feelings, and mine get hurt as well too.. I have been feeling very low and stressed and though falling and getting hurt is never a good thing, it was for me. I have been worrying to much about my life and the lives of others around me. So much so that it had caused me to fall into depression almost. And falling that day reminded me that no matter how many times I fall, no matter how deep or how much my wounds hurt Jesus is always there to pick us up and help us.

When you are down close your eyes and pray. Ask Jesus, God, for help. And close your eyes and take a deep breath. No matter how bad the situation is God / Jesus / The Holy spirit is always with us.. We just need to lean on Him…. One way we can do that is by reading our Bible and studying the love letter that we were sent. The Bible is our Sword for all our battles.. And when you do not know how to pray it helps us. And when your down praying and studding Give him Praise and Worship for what he has done for us and what he is still doing. BECAUSE no matter how bad the situation / world looks right now. God is working in our behalf to better it. So pick yourself up when you fall, accept Him and his good works, and Sing praises for the good that is coming on our behalf. .

Matthew 8:7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.
Matthew 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
John 10:11 The Good Shepard comes to watch over his sheep. I am the Good Shepard.
Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.
