Going Green

 

It seems the "three R's" of old (reading, 'riting, and 'rithmetic) have been replaced by three new "R's": reuse, repurpose, recycle.

 

When it comes to recycling, we have the best of all possible examples . . . Jesus. He's the ultimate Recycler. Think about it: he reuses worn out, used up, broken people and makes them into brand-new creations. He's amazingly efficient, too, never wasting any experience or situation. As Romans 8:28 reminds us, "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God" (En Espanol)

 

On our end, it's not just used paper or plastic that can be turned into something more useful. Perhaps you have an attitude that could benefit from recycling? Maybe it's time to repurpose a habit of worrying or complaining into the practice of gratitude for the gifts God has given. Think of the energy that would save!

 

Thanks to my mama for sending this in. <3 I needed it.

scripture

 

Romans 5:20-21

God’s law was given so that all people could see how sinful they were. But as people sinned more and more, God’s wonderful grace became more abundant. So just as sin ruled over all people and brought them to death, now God’s wonderful grace rules instead, giving us right standing with God and resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

quote

 

Our path is His business not ours. Our business is to trust Him with all our hearts and refuse to rely on our own understanding. Certainly, we must plan and prepare. But we must hold our schemes, and plans, and dreams loosely, giving God the right to revise them or replace them without our approval or knowledge, permitting Him to advise us, correct us, inspire us, and prompt us, knowing that His compelling hand is directly on everything we do.

John Trent
