Curiosity

August 5
Walking along the road parallel to a golf course, I was puzzled by rows and rows of white patches. My husband thought they were possibly leaves glistening in the sun. Heading to our car this question came to mind.: What do we do with our curiosity? Are we willing to just drive off rationalizing whatever was strewn all over that golf course was not of eternal value? Turning to my husband I expressed, "I wonder if that is how people who are curious about Christianity react? Considering the fact they can't prove if it is true or not, they might as well just let it go and not try to understand this Jesus."
Noticing a country club employee, I suggested we pull up and ask him if he had any knowledge as to what the substance could be. OK, that is such a female thing to do. The course of action my husband had decided upon was to pull up along side the green and have me get out and go over and pick up a piece of one of the objects in question. Submitting, graciously to my feminine whim (and knowing I would probably blog about this) he pulled up alongside the employee. The gentleman smile and happily explained it was a fertilizing process we had noticed. There was a machine which deposits white globs (not certain of the make up of the "globs") to act as markers so the maintenance personal can tell where they have been and not go over an area twice. "We learned something new today, " I joyfully exclaimed!
As the body of Christ we should be out there fertilizing and leaving "globs" of Jesus around.
Do we appear approachable to those filled with curiosity concerning our faith?
Are we equipped with "globs" of answers about our faith?

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. Acts 1:8

As Christians we should stay excitingly curious about all we cannot comprehend concerning God and continually seeking Him and praising his wonders and majesty.

He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted.
Job 5:9

She Fought the Good Fight

February 27 Bible Gateway's verse yesterday was: This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him . 1 John 4:9 A fitting verse for the day my everyday friend, soul sister, monster of the faith and mischievous partner in crime, Kaye, left this world behind and headed to her heavenly home. My husband was able to be by her bedside and said he knew she heard the words of our faith that he shared. Her sweet daughter held the phone up to her ear so I could say good-bye and the brightest single star you have ever seen shown through my bedroom window as she exited this earth! Yesterday, my heart literally ached so badly that I told the Lord, "Take me too!" Wouldn't she have been surprised if I had snuck up on her in heaven and said, "Thought you were going somewhere without me, did ya." When we received the call she was ready to go, I called out to the Lord for comfort and He led me to the Bible Gat

Toe Sucking

June 13 If I keep my eyes on God, I won't trip over my own feet. Psalm 25:12 …or allow them to be sucked off by carp!  For as long as I've been on this lake (49 years) we've gone to feed the carp at various marinas.   I have a bag of old bread waiting to be tossed to the carp tomorrow by our grandchildren!   There's a new adventure at a couple of the marinas.  Toe sucking!   For 25 cents you can buy a small scoop of peanut butter to go on your toes. Then the carp suck it off!   I just got a pedicure, so I have an excuse not to participate! What we do need to participate in is keeping our feet on the paths the Lord sets before us. Give careful though to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Proverbs 4:26

Remember Your Story

Our oldest granddaughter made this bouquet and hand painted card for me.💖 Nothing touches our lives that God doesn't allow.  He has a plan and a purpose, sometimes far into the future, that can be used for His glory. (Jeremiah 29:11) Flash back 40 years and I approached life's downs with an "I can't believe this is happening." and truth be told "How can I fix it?" attitude.   Now that I am older and wiser I see that God truly works all things together for good for those who are called according to His purpose.  (Romans 8:28) I thank God for the stroke 8 years ago and how it mellowed me out (okay some of you are laughing, but it really did). And honestly,  I like getting old. Sure, there are regrets, but there is also value in being able to pass along the wisdom learned from those regrets. God CAN use everything for His good. Mentoring moments are what I feel called to at this stage of life.  Working on a talk for a women's retreat weekend, I came ac
