All The Pretty Things

Good morning and happy Tuesday. I like to look at all the scenery along the road when I'm driving. To see all the pretty things along the way. It's ok when the road is straight and easy, but when it's in the mountains and curvy and stuff; forget about it. But isn't that us with God. All the "pretty" things in life take our eyes off Him. We get distracted by doing too much "good" for others that we forget our time with Him. And I hear you saying, Bryan you've talked about helping others, doing for others and then another day it's time with God. Well which is it? It's both. A balance has to happen. Mary and Martha with Jesus is your example. Some times it's ok to just sit at the feet of Jesus and listen. Work and feeding people have to be done too but it's ok when it's time to. This is not easy this road of Christianity. It requires our time and an effort that does not look normal to the world. Please don't let all the pretty things of life distract you from the One who gave it to you to begin with. In love always. <><
