Grandpa was buried today. He was a WWII vet, so he had the honor guard, the rifle shots, and Grandma got a flag. I was really moved. A country thanking one of it’s soldiers for his service. It is right and good that we should do so.
God has also been gently teaching me this week. I learned things about Grandpa I never knew. He had a kinder gentler side I was un-aware of. How silly I am to assume that I can see the big picture when I so obviously cannot. How quickly I jump to conclusions based on my own short sited observations. Here is the kicker though. My observations are not in-correct (granted, they often are, but not always). The problem is I am only correctly observing the small part I can see. I am missing the greater whole. Now I’m starting to ramble, so I’ll stop.
Psalms 105 Simply a remembrance of what God did for Israel. It is odd (sad really) how quickly I forget what God has done for me, how quickly I forget His provision for me. God knows people are like this, so He constantly is reminding us of what He has done, He constantly tells us to remember.
Proverbs 5:22-23 His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins. He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
Be careful Eric, your sin will bind you, and you will go astray.
