DOING IT OUR WAY.

I know.  I did not do a real good job on this snap shot.

This picture is one of my great grand daughters taken

about eight or nine years ago.  What I want to emphasize

in this post is her "red hair".  Of course that was not the

focal point of the snap shot.

At that time in all honesty, and not because she is my

grand daughter, she "HAD" the most beautiful red hair

I have every seen on any woman or girl in my life.

A little while ago she drove in with her boyfriend.

She is eighteen now.  I do not know whether to laugh

or cry.  She still has a full head of hair.  I guess it is

"sorta" red.  But ugh.  She is a teenager and has had

to mess it up trying one thing and another - like a 

teen ager would do.

Remember God created Adam and Eve.  They were

perfect in every way.  That is, until they wanted to get

smart eating something they were not supposed to,

and the human race has suffered for it ever since.

My real question is, how much of my life have I

messed up because I wanted to do it my way 

instead of God's way?

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart;

do not depend on your own understanding.

Seek his will in all you do,

and he will show you which path to take."

(Proverbs 3:5,6 NLT)

Found another poor image,
but you get the idea.

TODAY'S PROMISE

"What is the price of two sparrows -

one copper coin?  But not a single sparrow

can fall to the ground without your Father

knowing it.  And the very hairs on your 

head are all numbered.  So don't be 

afraid; you are more valuable to God 

than a whole flock of sparrows."  

(Matthew 10:29 - 31 NLT)

HOW MUCH HAIR DO YOU HAVE?

HOW MUCH HAIR DO YOU HAVE?

You don't know and neither do I.  In fact even

smart people with a Phd, DD, MD, or any other

kind of D after their name do not know either.

I do know that my wife for years complained that

her hair made her hot and uncomfortable so she 

kept it in a short hair style.  But now, she complains

that she has too little and wants a wig.

Hair of course serves a number of purposes for

the body.  For example hair on the head holds 

in body heat.  But in observing people it looks 

like the major purpose of hair for most people

is to adorn themselves with and attempt to 

exemplify something they are not.  You know,

look smart or rugged or unconcerned etc. for

the men.  And for the women - well, lets not

even touch that one.

Closer to my point.  Hair is important, but it

is not one of the major necessities of the body.

Lots of people do quite well with out a head of

hair.  But try doing without a heart, lungs, kidneys,

brain, toe etc.  What I am saying is that the hair

of the head is one of the most minor things of the

body.

Closer to my point.  I love my wife, but I do not

bother to count the hairs on her head.

Now to my point.  God [Yes there is one.] cares 

enough about YOU that He even knows how many

hairs you have on your head.  Do you know anybody

else who cares about you that much?

Jesus Christ said;

"What is the price of two sparrows -

one copper coin? But not a single sparrow 

can fall to the ground without your Father

knowing it.  And the very hairs on your head

 are all numbered.  So don't be afraid; you 

are more valuable to God than a whole flock 

of sparrows."    

(Matthew 10:29-31 NLT)

Now if God loves you that much are you accepting

His love for you?
