Thursday Thoughts - Consider the Wildflowers

“Consider how the wildflowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.

Devotion today provided by: Jenna Finkenhoefer. A few years ago a friend of mine gave me her copy of “10 Minutes to Powerful Prayer” by Stormie Omartian.

Thursday Thoughts - God's Plan is Better

My dog is not a fan of the rain. But she is a fan of walks. When it is raining and the regular time for her walk comes and goes, she will get more adamant about wanting a walk, maybe even risking a whimper or two to make her point. We will respond with a “No, it’s not walk time” or “No, it’s raining” but she doesn’t like that answer. Sometimes I think this is similar to how Christians act.
