Awesome picture!

I use horse specfic fly spray, but wonder if it is worth it. It must help. Having two horses makes a bottle of spray not last long. I buy it by the case to save money.

I wish they only had butterflies to deal with.

"...that owl is so sweet and a little sad, too."

Oh, thank you for the kind words, JC.

That is why I picked that graphic. I wanted a picture that depicted 'weariness and heavy-heart' to put that particular scripture on.

More, More, More

July 22, 2013

Some people love to shop. They have a perpetual desire to buy, buy, buy. The craze to find the latest deal is worldwide. There are huge shopping malls in China, Saudi Arabia, Canada, the Philippines, the United States, and around the world. A rise in store purchases and online buying show that buying is a global phenomenon.

Shopping can be fun. Certainly, there is nothing wrong with trying to find a real deal and to enjoy the things God has given to us. But when we become preoccupied with obtaining material goods, we lose focus.

Jesus challenged His listeners with these words: “Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses” (Luke 12:15). He went on to tell a parable about a man “who lays up treasure for himself,” but is not concerned about his relationship with God (v.21).

How can we learn to be content with what we have and not be consumed with amassing more? Here are some ways: View material goods as given by God to be used wisely (Matt. 25:14-30). Work hard to earn and save money (Prov. 6:6-11). Give to the Lord’s work and those in need (2 Cor. 9:7; Prov. 19:17). And always remember to be thankful and to enjoy what God gives (1 Tim. 6:17).

Lord, our hearts often run after “stuff.”
Teach us not to be obsessed with collecting
more and more material goods. May we instead
learn what it means to be “rich” toward You.
To be rich in God is far better than to be rich in goods.

Read: Luke 12:13-21

Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses. —Luke 12:15
Bible in a Year:
Psalms 31-32; Acts 23:16-35

Thank you Meg! We are finally cooling down after a week of high heat and humidity. But it’s summer now so we should expect it right?
