Knowing trees, I understand the meaning of patience, Knowing grass, I can appreciate persistence. Knowing dancing trees I can see Gods grace once more placed in the most humble and weak places in our natural life to highlight His glory. A stiff tree tends to snap naturally when bent too far, unlike the bamboo or willow which survives naturally by bending with the wind. Thus Gods glory is seen even brighter in the dancing tree! Wow! This sounds like a familiar story!
Thats awesome too! And just so you know I have never had random dancing trees sent before, I love things that are new...It's so exciting thank you! But can I ask something??.....The bible is full of dances, but I can't recall a tree, rocks that may shout out Gods praise but never a tree so....Are the dancing trees potty- trained? And will I need to help them with that? Just sayin' . Ok, I think I'll take a shower and brush up on some caroling I hadn't realized how close it was coming up! Smile.

Haha, of course I knew you'd like pink :) Yes! I love decorating people's message boards. Lol. I feel that it's underrated! It's christmas soon so I'll be randomly sending you dancing christmas trees :)
NO WAY!!! HOW DID YOU KNOW??? Red strawberries on a pink cross has always been my favorite! :p Ok, that may not be completely true but what is true Is I think it's awesome! Smile. I could use some color in this male doldrum of a visitor message room. Thank You and God bless you! Is it ok to touch it yet, or is the paint still wet?!! You can paint in my message board anytime!

Hello, Dan :) Thanks for dropping by. Here's a pretty gif for you :)
Between 1-5 rate yourself on how difficult it is to be faithful in the following areas, and you will find out why God wants us to be anxious about nothing....Work, serving others, everything else, Jesus Christ. If one of those made you feel more impatient than the rest, ask the one you were impatient with to explain why! Is God to bless us, only? Is He just another one of the workers? Faith is not that we do work for God, but that He will be free to do His work thru us! Are we at peace with that?
I LOVE Exclamation points from His holy people. It's the "Explanation" points from the ungodly that tend to bind. !!!!!!!!! I love having you on board grab a tool we live actively toward God here- bear it and share it as we sit in Him flowing the living waters. And, I, in turn will read your posts and get to know you better!
"Hey! look down!"..yeah, that's right I just laid that 100 dollar bill on the floor, and anyone who wants it can have it! Just go receive it. When your done 'Receiving' it ask yourself, "What does it mean to 'Receive' Christ based on what you just did?!!" Of course this is an object lesson and there is no 100 dollars really left on the floor! We must act out toward God, not start acting as if we already picked it up.
Ever have to swallow the pill you have set up in Scripture for others to feed on? I have. When I rush God's Word I sometimes accidentally substitute my knowledge of Salvation for His immediate needed points outlined in the gospel., knowing that I hinder people's ability to get to 'reality' in their circumstances when I do that, I just stop, take in a big breath, slow down and simply get my brain clear of everything, then I know it is God running the ship again, and His timing and delivery of specific needed Scripture can take over once again.
"That the righteousness of the Lord Jesus saves us is not taught in the NT. What the bible does say is that the righteousness of the Lord Jesus belongs to Him alone, and it gives Him a place before God. However, the Lord Jesus Himself is our robe of righteousness.
We can approach God only because we are Christ-like, not because we are righteously individual."
Everyday I wake up I remind myself that I am not sent to do battle for God, but to be used by God in His battles. I think: Am I devoting myself to service or Jesus Christ Himself?
I have "Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia" But worry not God has cured me. It came when I read "Fear God and obey His commandments for this is the duty of man." Ecc. 12:13. You see to me when knowledge becomes wisdom it speaks in a much simpler tone. By the way, that word is real...look it up!....[Shhh! I will tell you what it means..."Fear of long words."]
