These early walks have been balmy and calm, with the temperatures being so mild. I thank that is to end now. That being said, I spent the afternoon raking the front yard. I didn’t attempt the back, but that tree (in the neighbor’s yard) is just about empty. The front, however is not. I won’t rake wet leaves.
I finished my secret project. I will post a photo below and give you a day to figure out what it is. I will post the answer tomorrow!
While I was raking leaves I listened to Steve at Maplewood. The message was about the 10 virgins and their lamps/oil. Steve talked about wedding customs and expectations, and about how things don’t always go as planned. The groom in the parable was late and the 10 virgins fell asleep. Five were prepared and had oil for their lamps but the other five did not. When the bridegroom finally came, the unprepared virgins wanted the other five to give them oil for their lamps. They would not, because then none of them would have had enough to be attendants to the wedding. Of course this reminds us that we do NOT know when Jesus will return, so we need to be ready every day and prepared for the fact that he could come NOW! It’s not too late TODAY for you to be prepared for tomorrow!
