Adam and Eve

Isn't it interesting how readily we believe Satan, but have to examine everything God says to see if it is 'real.' Even though Satan is the prince of lies, we still trust everything he says. I mean, the fruit on the tree looked so good, what harm could there be...?

We humans are very strange sometimes.


Genesis 3

Aging

My children once asked me if a certain relative had "always been like that"
No, I said, And I didn't used to be like this either! LOL

It is sad to see people deteriorate, whether it be from age, illness or bad choices. We often forget who they used to be and what brought them to where they are today.

Sometimes there is nothing we can do--it is just the effects of aging. Other times, changes are the result of one bad choice after another. Does there come a point where there is no longer the capacity to go back to making good choices? I don't like to think so, but the evidence seems to be to the contrary.

I wonder how God views that.

I know that people think that I always see the worst in people/situations. Those people don't really know me. I am still waiting for the plastic figurines that my mom ordered for me 40yrs ago. I'm sure they are just lost in the mail.

I kept thinking that surely the cab would turn around and bring him home to start again.

I keep thinking that next time I will be treated with common courtesy and respect.

I keep thinking that God is able to do immeasurably more than we ask or imagine.

Moses saw the promised land but didn't cross over. Do I have the faith to be satisfied with that?

Do I have the faith that even if God decides not to rescue me from the firey furnace, I will still stand firm?

I'm thankful for my family.
