Thoughtless Tuesday

Mornin' Ladies! Hope you are off to a good one. Why are we such thoughtless, selfish creatures? Why is it so hard to think of others first? I'm reading some books that are making me think, can you tell? Why is it that to be "good" we have got to go totally against our human, fleshly selves? And, why I'm asking questions, here's two more for ya. Why can't I control what comes out of my mouth? And, why is my "green" tea red? Some things for you to ponder on today. He He!!

I'd like to leave you with some thoughts from my devotional in Experiencing God Day By Day

Life's Seasons

To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven. Ecclesiastes 3:1

"The beauty in the way God designed the four seasons is that, though each one is distinct, they all work together to bring life and growth. Spring is a period of freshness and new life. Summer sees growth and productivity. Autumn is a time for harvesting the rewards of past labors. Winter is the season of dormancy and closure. Each season has its own unique beauty and makes a significant contribution to life.
Just as God planned seasons in nature, He planned seasons in life as well. Life has its springtime, when we begin new things and look excitedly toward the future. Summer comes and we work diligently in the heat of the day at ll the God has assigned to us. With autumn comes the fruition of things begun at an earlier time in our lives. Winter brings an end to a particular period in our lives. Sometimes winter brings hardship, but we remain hopeful, for another spring is just around the corner!
In God's perfect design for our lives, He has planned for times of fruitfulness and activity. He will also build in times of quiet and rest. There will be times when He asks us to remain faithful doing the same work day after day. But there will also be periods of excitement and new beginnings. By God's grace we will enjoy seasons of harvesting the fruit of our faithfulness. By God's grace, we will also over come the cold winters of heartache and grief, for without winter there would be no spring. Just as it is with the seasons of nature, these seasons in our lives work together to bring about God's perfect will for each one of us."


Hope you all have a blessed day. I spoke with Brother Joe about the Experiencing God study last night, and he says not to go any farther in it, until the next class, so we can all be together.

Oh, yeah, if I start talking like I'm in the 1800's, please forgive me. I have noticed myself doing that. It's quite funny. I'm almost finished with the book, we'll see if the talk lasts much longer than that! LOL!!
