I finished reading one of the books in my collection last week, and got up to put it back where I keep it. I had to walk by the trash can, and I wondered what it would be like if we threw books away after we read them. The one I read is not easily replaced, so that thought was quickly dismissed, but pieces of it recurred the following days.<\/p>\n
What if you watched a movie and threw it away, or drove a car and junked it? Can you imagine waiting for a gift for months, using it one, and then setting it out at the curb? That’s pretty crazy. Yet, we do it more often that we might think.<\/p>\n
How many times have you asked (or pleaded) for God to move in your life on something particular, and then ask for a second option when He does? Or, you ask for forgiveness just so that you can do the same thing over again? Putting it that way, we throw away quite a few good gifts during our lives.<\/p>\n
It’s something to think about anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
