Learning

  • Mood:

"Learning"

We learn so many things as we grow from a child into late years...

We learn to be cynical, and to cause each other tears...

 

We learn to use others to get ahead in life,

We learn to create entertainment, with trouble and through strife

 

We learn to adopt sin as a best friend for each day

We learn to do so many things, in all of the wrong ways!

 

...And then we learn about Jesus, and how he is God’s own gift

We learn that we need to repent, and that prayers we need to uplift

 

We learn it’s not acceptable to live by standards the world set

We learn we’ve improved, but haven’t reached perfection yet!

 

We learn religion isn’t the answer, that it’s a relationship we need

Our connection comes from Jesus, who on the cross did bleed!

 

We learn to accept others, from many walks of faith

We learn to tolerate our differences ~ and never to adopt hate

 

We learn from each other, as God reveals himself each day

We learn to take control of our actions, our thoughts, and what we say!

 

The question is: Do we choose to put what we learn in practice????

Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. James 1:22 (NIV)

(^I hope we don't feel that way! God isn't trying to throw a 'brick' at us...although, honestly some of us are a little "thick-skulled!")

Hey Corina! Thanx for stopping by! To answer your question: yes, I have been doing my quiet time... but it's true that I've been struggling with keeping my focus on His plan for me- the whole trust and peace thing. I got some wonderful encouragement today- and it came from that guy, of all people... one of the kindest pplz I know. It's been an interesting evening with him... but I think things will turn out good. It's just this on top of everything else- a let of pressure from everyone to grow up in less than five months... It's hard to just take it easy when it feels like I have the world on my shoulders... Really hard to relax cuz there's so much I have to do, and so little time.

Hey Corina, thank you for stopping by and I responded to your post.

And answer to your question, "Do we choose to put what we learn in practice????"

Most of the time, yes, but I do slip up just like everyone else, I am so far being perfect. Thank our precious Lord, He is a God of second and third and fourth etc. chances.

Nah I don't mind ya asking. My gran just turned 80 this past January. and no, you didn''t come off to me as preaching.and sorry about your uncle. it's sad at the same time that you find someone else dealing with a family member who has the disease as well, but it's comforting to konw there's people out there that actually know what you're going through, can say i understand and actually mean it instead of being just comforting and not having a clue. i don't mean that to sound bitter if it does.. i hope it doesn't. but thanks for stopping by. i hope your dad does better as well.
