One of the things I really have to learn is accepting that if I want something, I have to be willing to wait for it and also be willing to go thru some rocky moments for it. It’s the “can’t have your cake and eat it too” train of thought. Came across this on the KLOVE Facebook wall. A beautiful verse from proverbs that talks about having to be willing to be disciplined in order to obtain something (like knowledge). Have a good Monday everyone! God Bless!
A “small” city with “big” sights.
Gods beauty here in Greenville!
Visiting some friends here in Greenville, South Carolina for a couple of days and needed some things to do to kill time. Actually, my daughters needed some things to do to kill time. I heard about the Greenville zoo and that it was a good way to make a couple of hours pass by. I was not expecting much…but I was shocked
(good way) at the quality of the zoo and the types of animals they have. The Greenville zoo has your obligatory snakes, giraffes, gators, birds, but also has animals you may not even have heard of (do you know what a “Rhea” is). More pics coming from the Greenville zoo BUT in the meantime, I think this Lion pic is a good preview.
We also visited the Falls Park at Reedy and it was absolutely beautiful. I was told it was man made and if so, I believe every city should make something like this. With a modern bridge that crosses a fountain like area, the family and I easily spent a couple of hours here feeding the wildlife (geese, ducks, swans, etc) and enjoying the scenery. There is quite a few things happening all at the same time from Shakespeare at the Park, line dancing, and even a band. Great job city of Greenville!
Earthly work can honor the Lord.
I had this verse ready to go but just had a feeling in me to wait before posting.
Work is work and work is indeed tough. 24 hours a day just doesn’t seem like it’s enough time. We all get rushed and in return we get cranky.
I am being led to say that there is someone out there that needs to read this verse. Anything you do, do it for God and his glory. We cannot fathom the greatness and intellectual of our God. Do your work to honor him…who knows what God will use you for.
Jesus died and rose again so that we may live.
Amen.
Daily Bible Verse – 08/10/15
How should a Christian act? How should a Christian feel about a certain topic? How should a person of God feel about cultural events? How should WE feel when our enemies are plotting against us? The answer is love. It’s always been about love.
31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. 32 Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you. (Ephesians 4:31-32 NLT)
