Jesus loves me this I know for the Bible tells me so. The truth of God’s Word is simple enough for a child to see. Yet many adults and older children as well have a difficult time accepting this truth. They have been tainted and touched by the pains of life. Not life as God intended it but He gets the blame nonetheless. How many times have you heard someone say “if God is so good, why…?”
Black Friday
We tend to be an emotional people. We have good days and bad days depending upon how we feel or perceive the events which occur. We set aside special days to be remembered each year in their proper season. Some are bright joyous celebration days and others somber days of contemplation. There are the remembrances of sorrow or the death of someone close, some tragic natural catastrophe or the evil of wicked men perpetrated upon entire nations for selfish gain. We mark these special times with long speeches and visits to gravesites and vowing through diligent preparation to never allow them again. We also have days of celebration to remember like birthdays, anniversaries, personal and national victories; even times when united in moral strength of character, evil is dispatched far from us. We refer to the joyous days as celebrations or holidays and the other days as dark days.
That’s what works best for me
Wondering how best to get through today seems to be a huge part of our thinking before we begin to play at this game of life. Pondering all the possibilities is important so we miss not a single opportunity to achieve, succeed, conquer and enjoy. Yet if all we do is think on these things then we miss the very victory we seek; Life!
Writing Truth
Sometimes writing is a freedom that allows communication from within my soul that is not expressible in any other way. Athletes dominate physically. They perfect their ability to control and employ every aspect of their physical being. Artists paint and sing and dance and express in so many ways the truths which make them who they are. I write.
