Curbside Stories

This weird looking fella landed on my knee yesterday. I immediately took notice because he has the face of a frog and the wings of a fly to match the oddly placed four legs.  I took a snap and before I could take a second look at the image, it was gone. What kind of an insect is this? I have never seen anything like it before. Regardless of its weird looks, I find it fascinating that it somehow took its time to greet me and remind me that there are things that maybe new to us and we might never fully understand its purpose, but take time to appreciate that its being new and weird or odd brought us a different experience to learn and to share.

You know you are getting older and you are oftentimes preoccupied by work when you get to appreciate the simple things in life like seeing bright lights at night, carnival rides and the most absurd thing of all--enjoying a different traffic. While enjoying the traffic yesterday, I had a little conversation with myself. I said, "Never hinder anyone from finding their own happiness." I replied, "You should talk to me more often." "I am. But you don't listen.", I answered annoyingly.

Sometimes we are too stubborn and proud of ourselves that we forget that we do not have full control of our lives. We oftentimes insist on things that aren't supposed to be so we end up frustrated and depressed to the point of questioning the plan of the One who is really in control of our lives. Many plans are in a person's mind, but the Lord's purpose will succeed. (Proverbs 19:21) Who are we to question the plan that has been laid upon us even before we were born? Just let Him be, let Him in.

Ever since I took over a vital company position, I barely have breaks. I almost forgot what the word meant. And it took a toll on me. We all need to have a break, even robots need them. You are prone to wear and tear as much as they are. Have a break, before it's too late.

Stress and strain have caught up with me, but your commandments are my joy! (Psalms 119:143 CEB) No matter how stressful the day may be, when you love something you do and you believe that you are doing it for God's glory, stress becomes irrelevant.

Whatever you do, do it from the heart for the Lord and not for people. You know that you will receive an inheritance as a reward. You serve the Lord Christ. (Colossians 3:23-24) Amen.

Oh, how I love weekends! I haven't been going around for a good rest and recreation because of my busy schedule. Since, it's a weekend, I might try enjoy the city lights. Ever played in the casino? I haven't. I have been to casinos before but I honestly don't know how to play any of the games. I guess I am not that of a risk taker. I case you are in the mood to play in the casino, consider playing online without having to lose real money.
