WISHES, PROMISES AND PRAYER!
Let’s start with WISHES. When we are
children we wish for so many things, like a new doll, or new bicycle, maybe a
new catchers mitt. When we become a teenager, we wish for more flexability in
our lives, to stay out later, have a girlfriend or boyfriend, have the best
looking person in school ask us out. Now into our adult years we wish for a
husband or wife, a child to love and watch grow. We wish for them to have a
healthy life. And now you get the jest of wishes.
But wait, what about the times you
said something to someone that you WISHED you hadn’t said. Once you have said
it, you can’t take it back. You come down with a fatal disease, you wish it
hadn’t happened but now you have to deal with it, wishing it to go away doesn’t
always work. Maybe you saw someone but never a said a word to this person. Now
you wished you had said hello. Took the time to stop them and talked just a few
minutes.
PROMISES,
have you made a promise lately? Has someone promised you something but didn’t
follow through? Promises like when you marry, you make promises in your vows to
love, honor, and cherish. How many times have you seen this promise go down the
drain. How about when you were a child, you did something wrong? You promised
your mom or dad you would never do it again. Did you keep that promise, or did
it fall to the wayside also.
We
all make promises and I’d like to think we all keep our promises no matter how
hard it might be. Promises shouldn’t be given out lightly for the breaking of a
promise can be devastating to the person we made that promise too. Think the
next time you are making a promise, is it something you really can keep? DON’T
make a promise unless you really can follow through and keep that promise.
PRAYER,
we all have prayed for something one time or another. Only to be disappointed
in our minds those prayers, never answered. Are you sure they weren’t answered?
Maybe it just wasn’t the right time for those prayers to be answered. I know
how impatient human beings are, I’m right with you. I prayer for answers to
many questions and when I don’t get an immediate response I think maybe he didn’t
hear me.
So
the next time your child wishes for something, or you, be patient. Next time
you make a promise, make sure you keep it, unless there is no way you can keep
it. Prayer? Don’t give up, sometimes it takes a while for a prayer to be
answered. It depends on if the time is right for those prayers to be answered.
Sometimes it is answered in a different way then we are expecting.
Talk to
you next week, but I’m not promising!
MAY GOD
BLESS!
