Equipment
Perhaps it’s time to inspect our equipment so we’re prepared. Are we reading the Bible, spending time in prayer, listening to Him as well as talking, and opening ourselves to the power of the Holy Spirit each and every day?
Blackbirds
As soon as I saw that flock of blackbirds in my backyard, I thought of the song/nursery rhyme “Sing a Song of Sixpence.” The truth of the matter is this song is truly nonsensical and a little gory. The point is; however, I associated this visual happening with a song I had learned as a child.
It Looks So Real
Yes, it was real —a beautiful gift given to me about three years earlier by friends. Each year, it had bloomed magnificently. In between the flowering times, I placed it outside by the deck. There, in its ‘hibernation phase’, it could rest and prepare to bloom again.
Over or Around
The river water did not encounter a deterrent and say, “Oh no! I am stuck here. What am I going to do?” One way or another, over or around, it kept persevering. There is always a solution, always a way….over or around, with God.
Restoration
When we moved it from my folks’ home to ours, a big chunk of molding was missing from the front, and the hardware needed replacing, too. I was reluctant to give the job of restoration to just anyone. Finally, we found someone whom we had confidence in to refinish it.
Overwhelmed
For sure, too much thinking and planning can absolutely get me feeling overwhelmed. One day at a time is the ticket. The bible says not to worry about the future, because each day has enough “troubles” of its own (Matthew 6:34). So true.
