Cats and dogs, elephants and zebras.....
all of the mammals and animals here on earth have babies
we love them so because they are cute and offer us a chance to show our love
we take in strays and if they are pregnant do everything we can to insure the babies survive and mama is okay
yet the mama cat dog or elephant does not have an option to abort
to get rid of her baby or say it is unwanted or inconvenient
in fact she will fight to the death for her unborn baby's survival
and, later when that babe is born, will continue to do the same
wonder if those same mamas would try to kill their unborn offspring?
wonder if their preganancies are "INCONVENIENT"?
Looking back means you have decided to not go forward
For one second you decide to turn back to a time when something was not right or a decision was made that was not good
and you become a pillar of salt
Looking back means you are not enjoying what God has given you now to enjoy
and may cause you to miss the moments ahead which He plans for your pleasure
Looking back makes your neck strain but looking forward gives you clear sight and a relaxed frame
Children look only at now and enjoy the sunshine
Adults check the weather to see what is coming and let this beautiful day waste
I like to think I will not look back but my body and mind know differently
Me?I became a pillar of salt long ago
So gathering up what is left is not easy but God knows and has my life in His hands
He shapes and molds and gets me shaking again just like salt in a shaker
He grinds the salt if He has to and it may hurt but
in the end it is all for good
Looking ahead is His prescription for looking back
and may I only look back to remember His goodness and what He has taught me
in Jesus name amen
