“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Tuesday; May 20, 2008

 

          Last week, as Jeane and I were driving around town, we kept noticing and remarking at how beautiful the trees were.  The crabapples and plum trees are in radiant glory and we couldn’t help but notice how they brightened up the whole town.  One day, we looked out our back window and to our surprise we spotted one of the most colorful trees we had seen anywhere.  It was right in our back yard and we had missed it.

          It’s easy to see the blessings of others; but, when was the last time we stopped and thought about how much we have?  We can spot God’s hand in the world around us; but, do we see Him working in our lives?  Too often, we become anxious about what we don’t have; but, are we appreciative of what we do have?

          When Jesus taught His earliest disciples He noted, “Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin,  yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory did not clothe himself like one of these.”.  (Matthew 6: 28-29)  Are we willing to see God’s gifts in our own back yard?  If not, what are we missing?

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
