risk

Friday and 5 minutes to write comes fast.

Walking across the room to say hello to a stranger, someone new you have not seen before.
What is the risk?

Staying home on a Friday night when all your friends are heading out.
What is the risk?

Getting on a plane knowing the whole world flies sick?
What is the risk?

Heading to the rest home to visit those who never get visitors?
What is the risk?

Going to church alone?  Going to a movie/restaurant  alone?
What is the risk?

Taking a job in another city or state?
What is the risk?

Instead of talking about the risk I wonder if we could talk about the possible gains.
 
Somethings we are scared of that are good for us, are risks. 
Somethings we should be scared of and not good for us are risks. 

The time it takes to ask what we will gain might be the wisdom we need to walk in the light and have fellowship in the light.
What is the risk?

Forgiveness

Good Morning! I was thinking about "love" this morning as I sat with my cup of coffee and my paper and waited on the Lord. Last weeks verse was about being able to love because Christ loved us first.  Do you find loving people we like is pretty easy and it is even kind of easy to love those we don't like.  We can be the first to love someone but the question I had for myself was... ...how come I can't be the first to forgive someone.   Forgiveness is a place I can get stuck! Loving seems easy compared to forgiveness.  I think they may go hand in hand. This weeks verse is from Colossians 3:13  Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievenaces you may have aginst one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you It sounds so easy as you "read" it in your Bible!  It sounds so easy as you "think" about forgiveness.  Can it be easy if we stay in step with the spirit as we walk through our day?  Is forgiveness supposed to be hard for us so

The Royal Wedding and Psalm 145

I was listening to the radio yesterday and the question they asked was, "Why would you want to watch the royal wedding?"  A few callers called in with a few reasons with one of those being... ...It is kind of like a girls super bowl.  The second thought someone had phone in was that if we compared it to King David and Bible times we could understand the royalty of that time in scripture.  One of the callers suggested that we read Psalm 145 in comparison of this royal day.  I have to admit I really had no intention of watching the event at all.  My husband and I figured we would just stay in bed a little longer because the news and weather wouldn't be one anyways.  But our internal alarm clocks went off and we found ourselves watching the event and the cars and the guests coming and being announced as they approached the church. The cheering was so loud and as Kate approached I found myself a little excited and caught up in the "princess" part of the day.  T
