The Bag Boy and Burdens

I remember being at the grocery store one day with my two boys. They are only two and a half years apart, so any shopping trip was a chore. This day was no exception.

Remember WAY back in the day when the “bag boy” at the grocery took your groceries to the car automatically without even asking? Don’t even get me started about “self check out”, but I digress….. Continue reading The Bag Boy and Burdens

Too Often

Oh my…how my heart breaks.  As a former teacher I know that there were always several drills we had to practice.  Tornadoes, storms, all of which could be horrible….but an intruder drill is most certainly something we never wanted to have to apply.

“The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Psalm 34:18

Erase That!

 

I love sharp pencils. So much so that my friend at the station brought me some mechanical ones. And of course, it must have a full eraser.

I noticed the other day something interesting though, when you erase something….part of it still remains. You truly cannot erase everything. Even if you think you have done so, there is still an impression that the pencil has left.

Like our past, we truly can never rid ourselves of it. Our past can actually be our focus, or we can leave it there and look to the future.

We learn from our past if we allow the Father to use it in our lives.

Or we can keep trying and trying to erase that word instead of moving forward onto the next one.

I think I will keep looking forward, but will use that eraser when needed!
