I've Just Been Thinking....

Sometimes I sit here, and I think. I think about what happened today, I think about what I'll do tomorrow, I think about when I was little, I think about friends, family, and people who wouldn't count as either of those, but mostly I think about me. How horrible does that sound? I. Think. About. ME. And honestly, I don't want to think about me anymore, God says that He thinks about me, so I should focus my thoughts somewhere else, on SOMEONE else. How THEY are feeling today. How THEY would like to be treated. How THEY are thinking. God has given us these amazing minds, and no matter what we do, they are prone to wander, but don't let them wander to yourself. Let them wander to others. What can you do to help them? Is it snowy outside? shovel. Is it warm and Springtime? Go pull their weeds. There are so many things you can do. All you have to do is think, not about yourself, but rather what has God given you the ability to do for others.


In Matthew 6:25-29 it says "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will ear or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? So why then do you worry about clothing? consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin, and yet Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these." 

So, let's you and me, go on an excursion. An excursion that will take our thoughts elsewhere, down a path that leads to others, and not a picture of ourselves.
