Today was a good day in fellowship with other believers. We heard a good message on doing things God's way in God's timing. King David, in the Old Testament, wanted to build a temple for worship in place of the portable tabernacle that had been used for years. It bothered David that he lived in a nice house but the place of worship was just a tent. God told him he had a good idea BUT he was not the one who should build the temple. God had chosen David's son, Solomon, to do it.
Applying it to me, that means I can find something good--even great--to do, but if it's not what God wants me to do, then I'm not obeying. Also, while doing that "wonderful" task, I'm NOT doing what God intended for me to do. That's double trouble! It's better just to obey, knowing that God knows what He's doing and His ways are always best.
Okay, sermon's over!!!
Today I was reminded again that I'm different. It's so easy to forget that my skin is a different color--until some little kid stands and stares and stares and stares. Then I remember that, yeah, I am an oddity! (Okay, family and close friends, no comments!!!) Sometimes they come up and run their hands up and down my arm; maybe they think my skin feels different from theirs???
This morning the cutest little tyke, probably 2-2 1/2, stood in the aisle by us and stared. She was all dolled up in a beautiful red dress with white shoes and socks and her hair was fixed so cute. I could have squeezed her but I had to remember we were sitting in church and I should be paying attention. At one point she reached out and touched Darrell's hand. I wished I had brought my camera, but I wouldn't have used it even if I had had it since we were still in the service. Oh, well.....
I guess that's enough for now. Just remember: God is good!!!
