It's Freezing!!!
January 9th, 2010
It’s freezing outside! It may be freezing on the inside too… If you’re like me, you prepared – the best you knew how – for this freeze we’re having – then hoped for the best – no broken pipes, right?! Well, I’ve got a broken pipe – fortunately, it’s on the outside of the house – the thing is… (although uninsulated) it’s inside a covered area so I couldn’t see it – that’s why I didn’t prepare it for this freeze – my oversight – nobody’s fault, but mine, right… You know, I think we, humans, can be like that. On the surface, we’re prepared to meet the public whether it be at the store or wherever, but on the inside… have we prepared – have we spent quiet time with God preparing for the day and what it may bring?! We might look good on the outside, but we may not feel good on the inside. Whose fault is that? I don’t know – it may not be anybody’s fault – not even our own, but if it’s anybody’s fault, it’s likely our own, for not having adequately prepared our mind, heart, and soul. Oh, you can bet we’ve spent time preparing our bodies – we work out, we have our hair done, our nails – we dress up, etc. But we may skip preparing what’s inside altogether. That just doesn’t make sense! Does it? Hey, I’m guilty of it too – I aint pointin fingers – no, I’m lookin in the mirror. I’m with you – we’re in this together. Let’s agree to spend some time each morning with God – just some nice quiet time, to get the day started off right, ok!
