Ananias lied
Immediately died
Sapphira did too
Fear and trepidation grew
And spread thru the church worldwide

Enjoy
Enjoy the little things
Before they slip away
Life a new day brings
Enjoy the little things
A bird that sings
A sunny day
Enjoy the little things
Before they slip away

Blind Birds?
Blessings
Within their reach
Abundantly given
Yet they seek the world’s meager scraps
Instead

My daughter sat on her porch and watched the two doves walk down the street together as if they were humans out for an evening stroll.
They had visited her yard previously to check it out, tasting of its goodness, yet today they bypassed her fresh green yard overflowing with beautiful foliage, birdseed, and a water filled birdbath, to forage in the dry, dusty gutter. Were they blind to the goodness nearby that was offered to them so freely, or did they just stubbornly choose to ignore it, determinedto live their in own way?
It makes one ponder if we humans are the same. Do we walk blindly through this world, seeking to find blessings and happiness in our own way while all the while passing by the goodness God has provided to those who will stop to believe and receive From Him?
Solomon Says:
Life’s on rerun
Nothing new under the sun
It all has been done
Haiku
The thing that hath been, it is thatwhich shall be; and that which is done isthat which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.
There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after. Ecclesiastes 1: 9-11
