Didn't blog yesterday . . .busy day getting ready for the beach and GA. We are heading south for our new granddaughter. I am looking over my sermon for this morning so this will be brief. I will be preaching on Five Smooth Stones (I blogged the outline earlier). God many times comes to us in the small things.
We have been wondering for a long time how our backyard squirrels were able to get into our bird feeder that sits atop of a very slender pole in our back yard. It is black cast iron and very slick. I was sitting in the kitchen when I finally had an answer. The little fellow climbed the pole without a thought, he didn't slip or slide and sure didn't struggle. When he made it to the top, he just looked over in the bird feeder and ate all he wanted. Then he looked directly at me as if to say, "this is how you do it". He slid down the pole and was gone in a flash. My wife and I had a great meal at Harvey's Friday night. (Seafood buffet) We went for a walk after the meal, I still had the building team meeting on my mind, just pondering what we had discussed. When all of sudden we looked up in the sky, there was a beautiful rainbow. I felt God was saying to me, don't worry, everything is going to be alright. Thanks God I needed that.
We were running all over the place yesterday trying to get ready for our trip and I was putting the finishing touches on my sermon. Ran into my favorite spot for coffee, On the Run on Craig Ave. The lady gave me a free cup of coffee! I don't know why, but coffee always tastes better when it is free. Thanks again God, didn't need it, but it was just your extravagant grace. Watching a neat movie with my wife the other evening and believe it or not it had a great moral message. It was a good movie that made me think and feel. The funny thing is it was about a dog. Well I have to run, watch out for the little things and thank God for the blessings even the little ones. 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Here is the movie if you want to check it out. I have to run and get ready to preach.
