Yesterday

                                                   

Yesterday I was thinking abut how much easier things used to be.  Maybe things were easier before all the self serve things that we have today.  Maybe the yesterday that I am thinking about was many years ago before self serve became the new normal.  Maybe I was thinking about yesterday when I was filling my car up with gas.

I remember when you could pull into a Filling Station and a person would magically appear to fill up your car for you.  Not only were they polite when they filled up your car but they would also clean off your windshield and even check to see if your tires needed air!  They would talk to you and smile!

It seems like these days people are in a hurry to get you in and out when you are paying.  Very few seem to have time to talk and smile.  They are probably just there to make their money and then get home.  What do you think?  Is it just me or do a lot of people seem unhappy?

I do know that there was One that came many years ago and He wasn't here to serve Himself?
His name was Jesus and He came so that you might have life and have it abundantly!  He came to serve and to save?  He is the one that can help take away the unhappiness!

He is the One that makes the way easier!

Matthew 20:28

Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

                         

Random Ramblings

This morning I woke up and looked at the clock.  It was 3:00 am  and I thought oh good, I have two more hours.  The next thing I knew I was waking up and looking at the clock again.  It was almost five.  It seemed like just a few seconds had went by.  How did that happen?  How come when I can't sleep time moves so very, very slow but when asleep it seems like just a few seconds have went by?

I then thought of Richard and wondered about time in heaven.  Is there a heavenly time clock?  Does it seem like seven months to him or does it seem like he just got there?  The last seven months and five days have seemed slow and fast to me but I really don't know how to explain that.  Maybe it feels  to him like just a few seconds have  ticked by.  I think that Heaven time must be different than here on earth.

I take my granddaughter to school most mornings and this morning was no exception.  She did help me get the trash taken out to the curb before we left.  As I pulled back into the driveway from the trip to her school and back when I noticed the trash.  My trash can was overflowing.  It wasn't falling out but the lid wouldn't fit down  as the the trash sacks were to tall to let the lid shut.

This made me think about all the trash that I let overflow into my life.  What sins do I hold onto in my life that I can't shut the lid on wrong thoughts, actions and words.  The only thing that I can think of to tie my ramblings together is this, don't waste your time on the trash!  Give it  to God and let Him clean you up!  I do believe that  all are on that heavenly time clock.  Don't let your time pass  and be left  with the garbage of your sin.

What is overflowing from you?

John 14:6New International Version (NIV)

6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
