A soggy Sunday is always better than a sunny Monday. However, this Sunday was not starting out to be a good one. The morning was cooler than usual and she woke up shivering. Last night she had left the windows up to take advantage of the cool night and lower her ever increasing power bills. This morning she wished she had kept an extra blanket nearby.
Wind whipped the trees and the sound of continual rustling traveled thorough the house on the winds. The air smelled divine, even if it was chilly - fresh, clean, and hopeful. Spring was on the way.
She stepped out on the back patio to study a lawn in dire need of mowing and was struck by the intensity of green that filled the landscape. Only three weeks ago trees were bare and grass was brown. Today green leaves, green grass, and weeds were rampant. The mower was broken.
She wrapped both hands around her coffee cup and savored both the warmth and the aroma. Sometimes creature comforts were one's only solace. It was much too gloomy to spend a day on the patio in a soggy green cacoon. One last look, a whistle to the dog, and she closed the door. Her red study was much more comforting and inviting. There, she would try and shut out the world for just a bit longer.
We are given choices in life and GOD gives us choices as well. Sometimeswhen we make a choice it seems like it's the only choice out thee. But what we fail to realize in that the choice we made isn't the only one ou there. And it may not be the right one. That's why GOD helps us make decisions all the time. And when GOD speaks to us that doesn't mean he will speak to the other person at the same time or the same way. GOD talk's to us in different ways. And when you pray for something the answer may not come when you want it. It may take day's, week's, month's, and even year's. He even has been known to answer prayers in just day's and week's. So before we think the choice that we made is the only one. We need to stop and pray and ask GOD to help us make the right. Sometimes the choices we make affect's other's around us. The person that makes the wrong choice usually suffe's so do those around that person. Even if those people or that person is miles away. That's why is always the answer.
