Not in a Hurry

-



A flower does not get in a hurry.  It takes its time to grow and bloom in beautiful and intrinsic ways.

Just like us as believers we do not instantly bloom.  We  may start as a seed. 

We want to be in such a hurry but it takes grace to be patient….and trust too.

 It takes time and space to grow. Lots of tender loving care. 

 We shouldn’t worry about blooming for our time will come without one worry how we will turn out …

Dear Jesus,  help me I pray to not be in a hurry or to compare my heart to to anyone else for in due time we will flourish and bloom like the red rose 🌹 on a sunny spring day…Amen.

    I don't worry 'bout my threads
    although Barb says clothes make the man,
    and that she just really dreads
    when in church I up and stand
    in cargo shorts and muscle shirt,
    an oddity 'mongst all the suits,
    and that they might bring the hurt
    that their flaming eyes impute.
    But I laugh, shoot 'em a smile
    that say that I yam what I yam
    (remember, that was Popeye's style,
    and you may guess I'm quite the ham),
    and while I may not dress the part,
    Jesus lives within my heart.

      I’m new at this. It took me 15 minutes to compose my first post.

It’s not that Complicated

  There is nothing complicated about hell…in fact it is very easy to get there.    I can assure you it’s not one big party with lots of rock music and sex.  Who would want to actually feel hells torment without any grace, mercy or relief. I do not know about you but I do not wish to go there If you intend to take the easy street then by all means be prepared for continual weeping and gnashing of teeth and the torment of eternal fiery punishment. Hell is not a complicated choice!!  Who would want to go there?  I would never desire to go there willingly.   Jesus came to this earth he hung on that cross as a human being   He was God in the flesh. There is not  a whole lot of preaching these days about going hell…we need to hear more fiery sermons from pulpits on Sunday mornings!!! Unrepentant sinners.will all go to hell.  It’s high time we repented of all our sins, and ask God to forgive you of all sin. Sin is sin and Jesus desires us to be in the kingdom of heaven with him for all eterni

Someday

FiveMinuteFriday One day the time will come when we breathe our last breath and close our eyes one last time...There is nothing we can do to stop that.  It is just one fact of life we all have to deal with. Death is inevitable, it will happen we can be sure of that. We cannot avoid it. Someday that door will open, and we will close the door to this life we now live... Are you ready for that "someday?"  The fact is that we are not guaranteed tomorrow. we should at all costs live each day as if it was our last day. If you knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that tomorrow was your last day to live on this earth, how would you do things differently or would you be content with the life you have lived up until this point?   As for me, I have always had a belief that there is a heaven and a hell.  I had a born-again experience at the age of eighteen.   It was after a very convicting church service. I had grown up in that church and was going through all the motions; but something signi
