This, That, and the Other Thing

“Just 'cause you got the monkey off your back
doesn't mean the circus has left town.”

(I can't remember where I read this...but I LIKE it!  It kind of helps explain the way the old sin nature rears its ugly head from time to time...)

"...There's no routine on weekends like this, just a list of things to be done and one by one they're mentally crossed off. There's no rush to get through it, no guilt if anything goes undone. My aim is to get through my work but to enjoy it too, even the seemingly dull bits."  (From Down To Earth, a gentle and encouraging blog to live life with simplicity and intentionality.)

♫ TRUST HIS HEART♫

All things work for our good,
though sometimes we can't see how they could
Struggles that break our hearts in two
sometimes blinds us to the truth.
Our Father knows what's best for us;
His ways are not our own.
So when your pathway grows dim, and you just can't see Him--
Remember you're never alone!

He sees the master plan,

And He holds our future in His hands.

So don't live as those who have no hope!

All our hope is found in Him.

We see the present clearly,

But He sees the first and the last--

And like a tapestry 
He's weaving you and me to someday be just like Him

(Refrain)

God is too wise to be mistaken.

God is too good to be unkind.

So when you don't understand;

When you don't see His plan;

When you can't trace His hand

Trust His heart.

For some reason, I just need the truth of this song to play itself over and over
in my heart and mind today...Hope it strengthens YOU, too.
