Slippery Places

The other day i saw a spider fall into our bathtub.  I got to watch as he tried to climb back up the slippery tub.  He would get about halfway up then fall back down to the bottom.  Then he would try again.  It was like putting the ittsy bittsy spider song on repeat,  he climbed up then got washed down then climbed up then got washed down, over and over again.  It was impossible for him to reach the top unless some else helped him.

The bathtub is kind of like life.  A slippery wall that we must climb up to reach the prize. And as we try to climb back up we continue to slide back down.  Just like the spider we cant do it on our own.  Its impossible.  The tub is just to slippery and we just cant find a dry route up.  But GOD wants to help.  All HE is waiting for is for us to ask.  It is a long climb back to the top of the tub and we wont avoid every slippery spot.  But GOD will help us through it.  Just because you dont seem to be going anywhere dont give up.  God may be drying up a wet spot so that you can pass through or preparing you with the tools you need to scale the sheer face of life.  If you have hit a wet spot and slipped back down don't worry, GOD has had lots of practice picking people back up.  Every one of us has slipped at sometime or another and we often time find ourselves stuck in one spot, waiting impatiently for GOD to do something.  Dont get discouraged others have been there and survived, so can you.

I love yall all dearly
May God guide you through life's hardest places
later!!

In Remembrance

Luke 22:19

"And He took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is My body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of Me."

     Communion.  Depending on your denomination it is celebrated in many different ways.  Some churches have communion every Sunday, others only celebrate it on holidays.  Some churches use wine others use grape juice.  The differences go on and on.  Yet communion is more than a Sunday repentance.  

     Jesus took the bread and broke it.  The Free Dictionary by Farlex defines the term "break bread" as "to eat together".  How often do you eat with other people?  you probably eat with your family or friends everyday.  Jesus said to do this in remembrance of Me.  How often do we sit down to a meal and take time to remember the cross?  We may say grace before we dig in, but that doesn't mean we thank God for dieing for us.  Most of the meal time blessings ive heard go along the lines of Dear Lord, thank You for this food . . . amen.  Not that theres anything wrong with that but Jesus said to do it in remembrance of Him.  

     Next time you sit down for a meal remember what Christ did for us.  don't just thank Him for it but take a minute to remember Him.  

love yall
