My Trash

A four year old boy once said, "Father forgive us of our trash baskets. And help us forgive those who puts trash in our baskets."


Children can make more sense out of life then most adults I know.  (Including myself)  Life is sometimes hard.  And the people in our lives can make our journey more difficult.  I once heard a lady speaker say, "I would be nice if she would let me!" 

It's always easier to point to others.  To blame them for why I am grumpy today.  To blame my own family for why I snapped back.  To blame the lack of sleep, sickness, stress, and just because.  The truth really is .... I am sometimes not so nice, because I choose to not be.  When I, even for just a moment, live my day for myself.  When I try to handle events by myself. 

The scripture, "I can DO ALL things..."  doesn't mean that I am wonder woman.  Tho I've tried to be.  It doesn't mean I've arrived in my spiritual walk.  I have to go back to the scripture and finish reading it.  "I can do all things ...THROUGH CHRIST who strengthens me."  Phil 4:13


God please forgive me when I travel my life journey without You not for just the day.  But I need You for the moment.  And for every moment that I breath.
