Good Morning,
My cup is filled with Door County Naughty Or Nice Grog Coffee and the house is warm, so it is time to write.
My wife and I often find ourselves in need of loading up our truck and going to the town dump. The team that runs the dump likes to call it a recycling center and it does afford the service of recycling as well. But to my wife and I, it is the dump. It is not a long trip for us. In just a matter of minutes we are there. My wife Rene can pack a truck. She will use every inch available to fill the truck with whatever we are getting rid of. She always says, "I don't want to have go back. I don't need to see the refuse in the garage until I make another trip. I only want to make one trip."
I had a man talk to me while my daughter and I were on a walk in her neighborhood. He was addressing the situation we were in and the hurt, and anger we were feeling. He said, "Don't dump the truck twice. Take all of your hurt, pain and sorrow to God and don't hang on to any of it. Give it all to Him." Those words rang true in my heart and in my mind.
1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your anxieties on Him for He cares for you.
Friends, dump the truck of any emotions that are clouding your heart today. And dump the truck once, and completely. Garbage is not meant to stay.
Marty
