Time and Light Bulbs

Image from You Version

True. We do not know what a day may bring. We have expectations, and we have hopes, and many of those hopes and expectations come to be, right on time.

Time. 

Today I am thinking about a week from now.
LORD willing, this time next Sunday, I will be enjoying that it’s only 2:46 in the afternoon rather than 3:46.
Daylight Saving Time ends this coming Saturday.  Not everyone is happy about that, even my daughter, but for me, it’s a happy. At noon, the sun will be in its place, and at 9:00 p.m., even on the East Coast, the sun will have dropped below the horizon.  
And so, we make our plans, and that is good. Planning is good and necessary.  Imagine the chaos without plans. But let us learn to hold those plans in the palms of our hands, not our fists. 

You are right. I am rambling. Sometimes I just like to be heard, even when what I have to say is not a light bulb for you or me.   

Happy Monday and holy hugs, Kathie

Gold and Silver

From You Version

Is it just me, or is this picture so stunning that you will think about the verses?  I hope it’s that stunning. 

Holy hugs, Kathie עֶבֶד

Homefront

I don’t think I have a clear 21st Century understanding of these Ancient verses but they have been with me multiple times today.

23 Be sure to know the state of your flocks, and pay close attention to your herds; 24 for riches are not forever, nor does a crown endure to every generation. LINK to source in Proverbs 27.

Be sure. 
Not hit or miss, not maybe, but BE SURE.
To know the state of your flocks. What/who are our flocks? I mean some of us may have chickens in the backyard but most of us don’t.
Pay close attention to your herds. Some of us, not many of us I think, have sheep, goats, or cows in the backyard either.
Yet the Word says to be sure to know the state of your flocks and to pay attention to your herds. And following that the Text turns to money — it doesn’t last forever. We know that from experience, don’t we? Nor does a crown endure to every generation. Do you have a clue what that means? Authority, perhaps?

Tend your flocks, shepherd your herds — I think. Whatever the makeup of our flocks and our herds, animals or people — you think?

Take care of the homefront at all costs, does that sound like something wise for us to do?
I’m not so sure homefronts are a top priority in this 21st century.
What does the homefront encompass?
Flocks, herds, finances, food, clothing, shelter, children, and spouses, and certainly NOT in that order. 
Do we know what GOD’s order is for these things?

Would it be wise to investigate to learn His Order of these things we are to know and pay attention to? 

Yes, I think I have more questions this morning than answers.  How about you, My Friends?
