I thought I was through writing blogs for while. But let me tell you story to help you in the new year. Once upon for the couple of days that I've been testing God with my brand of godliness. It just happens that recently I been feeling like if I have been cheated and treated shamefully. I was carrying this notion that my subjects were defrauding me. When they say, we have this and that to do, I would say in my heart, Let see those 50 dollar bills. Like the saying, show me the money and the bear will dance...
It came to the point were I would have a private joke everytime someone told me my 'to do' list. I would joke in my self and again say in myself, " Show me the money..." I just so happens that I became ill and the medicine cost quit a bundle of money in my steem. But when I was told, lets visit the worksite and help me with this item, I said I feel terrible and want to recover. The truth of the matter is that I was enjoying to loose feeling away from obligation and I was sick but more sick in heart than in body.
I really thought they were taking me as cheap labor and had all the scriptures to not defraud me and be generous with my trivial labor. So I didn't go to work and help. I stayed home and relaxed presuming everything was fine. Then it happened to me. My mother wanted to make some cookies and I took it lightly. Like why not and for granted. Like it was an easy matter. But I thought I was righteous and volunteered to bring the vanilla extract from the store. I thought, it's a couple of bucks for a little bottle.
So I went to the store and found, a big bottle of vanilla extract which cost 6 dollars. I went out of the store and went to another one looking for the imitation cheap stuff that would fit my pocketbook or little misled heart. Then when I got to the other store I found a tiny missly bottle of vanilla extract for 5 dollars! I couldn't do it I had to go back to the previous store. The Lord had already led me to best bargain, but I missed the cue. Then at check-out time, everything came to 8 dollars, and I didn't want to bring out my 10 dollar bill out, then I wondered how a little endevour could cost so much?
Then I brought it home, and realized that I took making cookies as an easy matter and cheap and I was mistaken, that I too had taken the labor of my mother for granted and thought that her ingredients and effort was a trivial thing. I forgot about the ten dollars and now focus on how I too treated others the way, I though other were treating me. I now realize that I too had to bring out the big bucks to cater to myself the way I thought others should bring out their best to take care of me. I thank God that I spent the best 10 dollars this new year and perhaps turn the outcome of the rest of the year. I just can't thank God in so many words how he took care of me today on the Cross.
May you be blessed. Amen.
