Our Daily Bread
"Do not be weary in doing good..." Wow, I thought about how many times I had been weary by not being good! I am so ashamed!
So how do we "do not be weary" when doing good? What is weary? We usually think of tired or fatigued when we talk about being weary. I like this alternate definition:
"Having one's interest, forbearance, or indulgence worn out"
Wow! As a Christian, having one's interest or forbearance worn out sounds very, very serious! We should never do that! hehehe Seriously, the expression that I heard when I was younger is "you cannot dip from an empty well." If we think of our interest and forbearance as a water well from the Old Testament, folks would stop dipping into a well that they knew was dry. We can "dry up" when we push ourselves too far. Take care of yourself!
Lord, I want to keep my interest and forbearance when serving you!
Witness Wednesday
The later part of my 40's were odd to me since I was single again at that age. I was in a new age bracket on every survey I knew of! After a few months, I started dating. Yikes. I did the online thing for a few years. I met some nice guys. I met some real losers. I went out with a great guy who was a seasoned professional. I went out with a 32 year old hairdresser with a Mohawk hair cut. Go figure. I got very tired of dating so I started something even more odd -- a back and forth relationship with two very different men. I have written about Ying and Yang many times in my blog. I won't write any more.
The last few years of my 40s left me tired and weary... yes, weary of pursuing another relationship. I will talk about how things changed in my 50s. Yes, they did change, praise God!
