Thorns

It’s my last day of vacation today and time to confess. I pre wrote the last 10 blogs on Christmas Eve. So that by the time you read this I will be much tanner and much better rested than I am at the very moment I’m writing this. That’s very atypical for me since I usually just write what’s on my mind the morning of the blog. I felt desperately in need of a vacation, though, but was torn because of my commitment to blog daily.

I found the perfect solution: pre write the entries ahead of time!

However, starting tomorrow, I’ll go back to my usual method of posting a fresh blog on the day it’s posted.

I find that the older I get and the more responsibilities I have, the more I have to fight for my freedom. For the first time in my life I empathize with moms. I don’t know how moms do it all – but they do and make it look easy in the process! That’s just wrong!

For my last pre-written blog I want to leave you with a small story I read in my quiet time recently. It’s about a blind man named Dr.Moon.

“When Dr.Moore of Brighton, England, was suddenly struck with blindness, he said “Lord, I accept this talent of blindness from you. Help me to use it for your glory so that when You return, you may receive it back with interest (matt 25:27).

Then God enabled him to invent the Moon Alphabet for the blind, through which thousands of blind people were enabled to read the Word of God and thereby come to the glorious saving knowledge of Christ.”

Each one of us are dealing with some facet of our lives we wish were different, or some circumstance we wish resolved.

May this year be one in which we take that very “talent” or thorn in the flesh that God has given us and turn it 100 fold for His glory.

I’ll talk to you tomorrow morning – live!
