Strong's Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary.
A VERY SPECIAL HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY SON, JOSHUA, ON HIS 38TH YEAR, 8/1/16!!!
GOD BLESS YOU MY SON!!!
"
FOR I HAVE LEARNED........."
I AWOKE (PTL FOR AWAKENING AGAIN!) today rested and feeling GREAT-especially for a 65 year old man who SURVIVED a vicious fight with the squirrels last week!!!
Life can change in an instant!!!!
"
I LEARNED" this TRUTH the HARD WAY in my feeble war I rage against the tree rats/squirrels daily-they kept getting in my bird feeder.
"
KEPT" is the key word-I "THINK" I have the VICTORY IN JESUS!!??
I have spent MONTHS and too many dollars trying to be the tree rats, so......
After wise council from the man constructing the mother-in-law suite, I came up with the BRILLIANT plan to throw a strand of fishing line over a tree branch 40 foot in the air-BRILLIANT,HUH??
SO, I drove to Academy Sports and bought a roll of 17 lb. Test line, found me a brick with one hole in in, and attempted to throw the object over the limb!''My first attempt failed-you think I would have "LEARNED!!??"
But NO, in my anger, I decided to MAN UP and put all my "man hood" into my throw and beat the #&^%$ squirrels-once and for all!!!
HEAVE HO AND DOWN I GO!!!
I "won" BUT I ended up flat on my back on the concrete patio..................
BLESSED/LUCKY to have not broken a hip or left arm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SO, the score today is:
Pastor Doug 2/squirrels 1
Philippians 4:11 (KJV)
11
Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am,
therewith
to be content.
SO, I sit here today, "LOOKING OUT MY BACK SCREEN DOOR," enjoying mother nature.
"
LOOKING OUT MY BACK DOOR" is the same pleasure I would get from
"LOOKING OUT MY BACK DOOR" at a beautiful lake OR mountain top, or ocean front condo.
"
BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER!!"
"
A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME WOULD SMELL JUST AS SWEET!"
Jesus said:
Luke 12:15 (KJV)
15
And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
"
LOOKIN OUT MY BACK DOOR," I watch-with sad and wry humor-the myriads:
"
LUST, AND HAVE NOT, KILL, AND DESIRE TO HAVE, FIGHT AND WAR...."
James 4:2 (KJV)
2
Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war,
"
YET YE HAVE NOT BECAUSE YE ASK NOT!!!!!"
BELOVED, all YE need is "OUT YOUR BACK DOOR!!!!!"
How well do I remember my DREAM of living on the coast and owning my very own fishing boat!!!
My dear friend, whom I will not name, BURST my dream with his TRUE words:
"
Doug, you ain't gonna get out in the sun and fix/clean/maintain no boat!!!"
Truer words were never spoken!!!
TODAY, stop DREAMING of what you AIN'T got and enjoy what you DO got!!!
As the old sage once said, "IF YOU GOT YOUR HEALTH, YOU GOT IT ALL!!!"
TODAY, go "set a spell" on YOUR back porch-"LOOK OUT YOUR BACK DOOR!"
Philippians 4:11 (KJV)
11
Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am,
therewith
to be content.
Hebrews 13:5 (KJV)
5
Let your
conversation
be
without covetousness;
and be
content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
TODAY, "BE CONTENT WITH SUCH THINGS AS YE HAVE!!"
AMEN!!??
GOD BLESS YOU!
