Thursday once again and if I look a little bit ovet the top of my glasses I can see Friday coming. My cup of Door County Cherry Creme Coffee tastes heavenly. It's way too good.
Last night I pulled out the tractor for the first time this year.
Ephesians 4:32 And be kind to one another tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.
I mowed half of the yard and applied some fertilizer and then swept up. I took a little time to survey the yard and I took note of the damage done by winter in Wisconsin.
We did not have a lot of snow but we did see more than a share of ice. This really caused a lot of damage to the grass. It can be repaired but it will take a lot of work. It will be some time before green grass will take the place of the dead dry grass and the bare dirt. All of that caused by the ice and the cold.
Life can be like that especially in relationships. We at times will all disagree or have differences with someone. Many times things are said and soon after, people decide to write each other off. Instead of working their differences out, they let their relationships run cold and ice over. Once this takes place, some relationships never recover. What could have been fixed with a little work earlier, now needs major work and time. Why? Because like grass that is not repaired, weeds crept in and choked off any chance of grass starting. When we let relationships ice over and die off, the weeds of imagination and embellishments move in and choke off the chances of restoration. What ever caused the rift becomes worse with time if allowed to continue icing the hearts involved. The best remedy for the ice of hearts is the fertilizer of forgiveness, the rain of love and the sunshine of understanding.
Don't ice your hearts toward anyone. Even a short time of the silent treatment can start the frostbite of a heartache.
Have a great Thursday.
Marty
