Oh my.  It has been one of those days, two days in a row.  It feels like the weight of the world has been placed upon my shoulders, without asking for my permission first.  It has been one of those days that even with me doing my best at doing everything right, I am still not doing it right and if I have not kept up on every little detail, it is still my fault!  Take for instant, my new neighbor has been driving through my backyard without my knowledge.........is it my fault that my neighbor is too lazy to ask his roommate to move their car out of the way and then back out of the driveway the correct way?  And so does this justify my landlord getting mad at me for not telling him that I knew that the neighbor was driving through the backyard?  Still my fault.   Without knowledge, God's people perish.  So, after working every day now still the day after Thanksgiving, I had to go outside and put up a baracade (I am not even sure tonight if this is how you spell baracade) so that the neighbor can no longer drive through the backyard...............but if he hits the baracade, guess what?? Still my fault!!!!!!!!  I feel like a pile of cow droppings during these times!! LOL (laugh out loud)

This reminds me of several bible verses that I have called out during the day today.  Pleasing man is not as important as pleasing God.  Do not repay evil with evil but show good to those who would do you harm.  Repay evil with good, by doing so you heap burning coals upon their head and save yours.  Cast all your cares upon the Lord for HE cares for me.  Jesus came to save us from our sins.   Get angry for the right reasons, at the right time.  Do not let your anger get into bed with you.........it will still be right there when you wake up in the morning.  Be angry without sinning.  Cry out to the Lord in your time of need and He will hear you and come and comfort you.  Judge not lest you be judged.  Think more of others than yourself.  Show honor to all people at all times.  Guard your tongue in times of trouble lest you open your mouth and prove that you are a fool.  Make sure not to repay evil with evil.  Work as unto the Lord and not man.  Your treasure is in heaven, not on this earth.  While you are here, you will suffer and have bad days.  Take heart.  God loves you.  God cares for you.  God wants his best for you.  God knows what you need before you ask him for help.  Go ahead and ask anyways, He loves to hear your voice calling out his name.................A kind word turns away many hurts.  Love covers a multitude of sin.  Love never fails..........All of these verses are very loosely paraphased but with one common thread--God gives us the Word to turn our focus back to His face and His grace when we are suffering or struggling.  He is so good to us.

That song--"And He walks with me and He talks to me and He tells me I am his own.  And the joy we share as we tarry there, none other has ever know".  Thank you Lord for loving me when I have one of those days that has become one of those weeks. 

In Christ alone,

Grandma Jane
