Being Thankful is Expensive

781) Psalm 50:14 speaks about being thankful and that it is a sacrifice to God. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 tells us to give thanks for everything. When I first consider this, it seems logical to me when someone brings me something I want; I am thankful, but what about when life brings me what I don’t

The Pain of Avoidance

780) I was in my 5th decade of life before I realized that the need to be in “control” of things is really the symptom of avoidance. I somehow got the idea that to control what pain may come my way, such as not getting close to others or getting another pet, I could avoid

Who Inherits and Other Difficult Things

779) I have read multiple accounts of families who have been torn apart in anticipation or in the throes of inheritance issues. Even when things have been specifically listed in a will of who gets what, there are often hurt feelings that can lead to a future of fractures within the family unit. If the

To the Very End

778) Our relationships with people are complicated. The life of some of them is for brief periods of time and others continue long past what is healthy. The closeness of these relationships depends on a mind-boggling number of circumstances. Even those relationships that we feel should be “forever” in this world, such as with family

Help Comes in Different Forms

777) I cannot speak for you, but when I lift my prayers to God, I have specific ideas of how I want Him to answer me. When I ask Him for specific things, I look to see Him provide it in the timing and manner that I have imagined. The problem with this is that

The Line in the Sand

776) For as long as I can remember, I have disliked seeing others in pain. When there would be a fight break out at the high school where I used to teach, many would run toward it, clearly wanting to see and “root on” the conflict. Not me. I would run the other way. Does

Just Getting By

775) Teaching middle school kids spelling skills is an enormous challenge. I believe there are many reasons for this but, in class, when we’re going through the weekly spelling list, my students and I have a chant that we usually wind up saying at least once a week. When I spell a specific word out

A Muzzle May Be Necessary

774) It is so easy to jump on the negative and complaining band wagon. I think it’s part of our fallen nature. Some do this because it’s venting. It feeds their needs a little, but it also does something else. It rings in others’ ears and produces no good thing. In Psalm 39:1, David asks

God’s Resume

773) Consider that you are someone who employs several people. What if you had someone apply for a job at your place of business who was loving, truly cared about you, your business, your work ethic and coworkers? What if this same person had a reputation for being faithful? When you ask him/her to do

I See You

772) Sometimes when I read the Bible, I get confused. On the one hand, God says in Psalm 34:15 that His eyes are on the righteous. What confuses me is that I know God watches over everyone, even those who are not His. Is this a contradiction? No, I don’t think so. As a classroom
