People Will Come & Go In Your Life & Will Disappoint You. Don't Dwell On That But Find Beauty Around You.

You know I can honestly say I have been let down by people in general. That then makes me not have to categorize the groups and stick with the general category. You will find that in life you can be deceived big time by the one's closest to you and the ones you confide in and share your dreams & goals with. Do not be surprised because you are sharing your heart & ideals with them, they now have a tool to use against you if that makes sense. Be most cautious of whom you share with because those very people can deter you from sharing with the right & sincere group and not the wolves in sheep clothing trying to hoodwink you, all in the guise of being or having the appearance of being holy & a devout Christian. Yes, I said it. These are Christians out there parading around like they are the next best thing to sliced bread, so the saying goes. You would possibly expect that type of behavior from heathens and unbelievers but not from Christians right.

Use wisdom and don't fall for enemies planted around your life, clean house and sweep it clean once & for all. Pray that they get restored and even yourself find restoration for going down a path that can lead to destruction and devastation in your very life. Holy Spirit (if you allow Him to) will highlight this very kind to you. He is patient but there will come a time when He stops sending others to you to listen to the warnings because you have chosen to not receive the warnings sent to you. Quit looking for ear tickling type of words spoken into your life and get the ear ticklers out of your life so people that speak truth with loving concern can get through to you. 

It is hard to see this when walking through it. You see it clearer once you have walked it and look back. Don't wait until that time because life is but a vapor and it really is short meaning you are here one day and then the next day may not even be promised to you to wake up and see the beauty that surrounds you. Like hearing birds singing in the background because they are around you because you take the time to feed them. Hearing windchimes in the background because you like the sound they make when the wind gently or ferociously blows around you. In either circumstance you are blessed to hear them play sweet melodies if you choose to hear the music. I tend to bring in most of my wind chimes prior to wintertime but try to leave one out if possible, so as to hear if there is strong winds blowing outside. I usually pick one of my older ones that I don't so much care about if the winter winds take a toll on them.

 I am reading a fascinating book right now and following along with a workbook to go with the book. The author is Dr. Ron Webb, "Leadership From Behind The Scenes." Earlier this morning I completed 2 pertinent chapters in the book/workbook. "Staff Infection" & "The Danger Of Exposure." At the conclusion of reading the last chapter I asked Holy Spirit for scriptural guidance, and He took me to the Book of Isaiah Chapter 19. I read the entire chapter, and He reminded me that the very closing of that chapter there is restoration and I said amen to that. All hope is not lost if you find you have been betrayed by others, because, with a willing heart there can be restoration. I am being reminded of Job and look what he went through, and things were greatly restored at the end. You may not see the restoration while walking through it at the moment, but it is there, it truly is there.

I decided the other day to place bird feed/seed not just in the bird feeder but I put it on the ledges of my back porch and even on the floor so I could see the birds coming up closer to maybe capture some pictures of them. Let me share my bird feeding adventure with you if I may. Well, this morning all the bird seed is gone, I imagine I need to place more outside for them to enjoy today. Not only for them but for me being blessed seeing God's creatures (yes, even the squirrels) enjoying the seed placed for them to find nourishment.

This picture intrigued me. Do you think the male cardinal is interested in the female cardinal and she is just not giving him the time of day or maybe she is just interested in the bird seed in that direction. A thought to ponder on.
