Thursday's Thoughts- One Berry Can Make a Difference

One Berry Can Make a Difference

I know this sounds like a weird title but I promise you will understand by the end.

Do you have a friend who isn't a believer or is weak on their faith? Are you trying so hard to witness to them but feel discouraged because you don't seem to be getting through to them? Guess what, I know how you feel.

Sometimes we try really hard to change people and expect there to be a drastic, immediate change in their lives. The tough truth is that that's not how it works. We cannot change others through the big things we do, but God can use you to do little things to impact them, even if it's only slightly.
One of my favorite summer activities is picking blackberries. For the most part it's fun and easy but sometimes you find yourself climbing into the middle of a broad patch only to find two or three good berries. Bummer right? Not exactly. See, three berries don't seem like much on their own but, in the long run, they can make a difference in whether or not you have enough for a cobbler.
Maybe God isn't using you to greatly impact someone's life over night but He can use the little things you do for others to open their hearts to him. Remember that you are doing this for God's glory, not yours. Even one berry can make the difference.

Dear Lord ,
Use the little things I do to make a big difference in someone else's life. I give you the glory for everything I do. Amen

Winter Wonderland

This past weekend the weather decided it was about time that Arkansas had some snow. When it snows there's only one thing to do, go outside and take pictures! What you got there? I'd like some range cubes please. Make sure you get my good side. Oh yeah, there you go. Now, where is my food? Mom and Jacob think this looks like Mater from Cars. My baby is getting special treatment in the form of her own bucket of range cubes. Little Caffie is hunkered down and trying to stay warm. I'm not sure she likes this weather anymore than I do. My boy looks so pretty in the snow. You got that food yet? I'm STARVING. I love trees with snow on them. The world is white And at the end of a long cold day I get some Daisy snuggles. They are the best when it's cold outside. She is forever my baby. Snow is not my favorite because it's cold and it makes chores harder to do, but everything does look prettier.

Thursday's Thoughts- Job

Let's take some time today to observe a man that represents what we should act like as Christians. His name is Job and you can read his full story in the Old Testament but I'll give you a brief overview. The book of Job opens up to a scene from God's court. The sons of God had come to present themselves and among them was Satan. God couldn't help but boast about his number one servant Job. Satan laughed and pointed out that, like all men, Job would only love God as long as his life was good. Does this sound like a challenge to you because it did to God. He promptly gave Satan permission to do whatever he wished to Job as long as he did not harm him. Job was considered rich in those days because he had livestock. In Job 1:13-19, Satan strikes and Job loses everything including all of his animals and children. The only things left in his world were his house and his wife, yet he didn't respond the way most people would. In fact, his response is truly baffling but...
