Worst Day EVER!

Every have one of those days when no matter how hard you try to  just do everything right no matter what - everything  wrong happens instead. From the moment you wake up on the morning you begin to drop things. The words come out of your mouth all jumbled. You forget your lunch on the counter. It starts pouring rain which causes every idiot driver to drive directly in front of you on the way to work causing you to arrive late and forcing you to park all the way in the far end of the parking lot. Of course it isn't until you make it to the employee entrance that you discover you realize your I.D. card is in your other jacket and have to walk all the way around to the front of the building to be let in by security. It is also at this point that you realize your wallet (and I.D.) must have fallen out of your purse in the car and there is no way you are about to walk through all that rain to get money for lunch.  So you just look at the security person with a major death stare...and carry on. Oh yeah. Me too.

So what? Never had one of THESE days? Come on now.

 Everyone has bad days....Right?

Well.   This is true.    I have actually had this day.

So what do you do about it?

Heck if I know.             I try and make FLOWERS.  Sometimes it actually works.   :)

A Word for the Shepherds

Ezekiel 34: 2-6

 ¹ The word of the LORD came to me:

 ² “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel; prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Woe to you shepherds of Israel who only take care of yourselves! Should not shepherds take care of the flock? ³ You eat the curds, clothe yourselves with the wool and slaughter the choice animals, but you do not take care of the flock. ⁴ You have not strengthened the weak or healed the sick or bound up the injured. You have not brought back the strays or searched for the lost. You have ruled them harshly and brutally. ⁵ So they were scattered because there was no shepherd, and when they were scattered they became food for all the wild animals. ⁶ My sheep wandered over all the mountains and on every high hill. They were scattered over the whole earth, and no one searched or looked for them."

Who Will Go?

Who will go and find my lost sheep?

Who will go and who will seek?

Who is willing to leave the prestige?

For canyons and crevasses to return them to me?

Who of my under-shepherds will be like me?

And leave the many for the one you can’t see?

Who will tend to the ones who’ve run off?

Are there any of you willing to count the cost?

Many are your words in your houses built by men.

Now is the time to let them rule your hearts.

Go!

Find my lost sheep and bring them in!

"What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? ¹³And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off. 

¹⁴In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should be lost."

Matthew 18:12-14
