Life*&*Friends

alright, so today we had lady's fellowship at our church. it was awesome!!! i'm not sure who decorated it, but it was adorable!!! i simply loved it!!! one time i dont bring my camera and... it always happens to me too. so, the place was nicely decorated, the food was great (as we all know that's mighty important for us Baptists, right?) and the message was GREAT too (or is it devotion? either way, you know what I’m talking about, Bible study)!!! Mrs. Boyle preached at us about being the unique snowflakes that God created us to be and make/create the big picture that we're suppose to. i thought it was a great point and that we really should concentrate on being who God made us to be and be busy doing what He wants us to do, not looking at the other snowflakes and wishing we were more like them or whatever. Mrs. Boyle also talked about her good friend who recently went to be with the Lord and how she touched so many people. well, she mentioned that Mrs. Paisley invested in her and now she needs to put into practice all that she learned from that sweet lady. and i got thinking about all the people that invested their precious time into me, teaching me more about the Lord and His ways. and if we dont apply the things that we learned from our spiritual 'teachers', their investment is going to waste. that really touched my heart today.

also, i just thought of my friends, who love me and are always there for me. and i just cant imagine my life without them. so, lesson learned, appreciate your friends while you still have them. snowflakes are uniquely created, but they dont last long, they melt, they turn into vapor. and according to the Bible, our life is just like vapor also. so, we need to appreciate and love all the snowflakes in our life before they melt. RIGHT?


anyway, just wanted to share this with ya'll. hope you're having a good one!!! blessings!!!

Just found your blog through the randomness of the 'next blog' button. What a great analogy between snowflakes and people. So true and poignant. Thank you! I'll be back.
