I thought the only way to get over my love for chocolate would be to work in a candy store. My boss said I could eat all the chocolate I wanted! So I did till I got soooooooooo sick....that I could never eat chocolate again!!
Fortunately, I never took that job!!! LOL!

[oldteen]

Smart gurl, you are!

I don't WANT to get over my love for chocolate! Chocolate is what keeps me sane! (Opinions may differ! lol)

Birds, Lilies, And Me
August 24, 2011

In the episodes of an old television show, the veteran police lieutenant always said this to the young officers on their way out to the street for their day’s assignments: “Be careful out there!” It was both good advice and a word of compassion because he knew what could happen to them in the line of duty.

Jesus gave His followers a similar warning, but in even stronger terms. Luke 11 ends ominously with these words: “The scribes and the Pharisees began to assail Him vehemently, and to cross-examine Him about many things” (v.53). In the continuation of this account, Luke says that Jesus compassionately instructed His disciples to “beware” (12:1) but not to worry or be afraid (vv.4-7,22).

Jesus was promising to guard, protect, and care for them as they went out into the world. He assured them that because He cared for simple things like birds and lilies, they could be certain that He would take care of His “little flock” of believers (vv.24-32).

We cannot know the future. But we can know this: No matter what comes, we are under the loving, caring, watchful eye of our great Shepherd, who also happens to be the Son of God!

I walked life’s path with worry,
Disturbed and quite unblest,
Until I trusted Jesus;
Now faith has given rest. —Bosch

If Jesus is concerned about flowers and birds,
He certainly cares about you and me.

ead: Luke 12:22-34

Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life. —Luke 12:22

Bible in a year:
Psalms 116-118; 1 Corinthians 7:1-19

Romans 8: 14-18 KJV

“14.For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

15.For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

16.The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

17.And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

18.For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
____________________________________________________________

“To suffer with him ... that we may also be glorified together “

this is it ... there is a cost.

Praise the LORD!
