JUST MONDAY

The more you know a person, the more you know what you can expect from them. Many of us when we first meet a new person or friend, we begin the process of getting to know them and so we spend time listening to their lives and all their likes and dis-likes. Just because you’ve painted a picture of what they do and what you think they should be like, doesn’t mean that is the way they are…. See the story below:
** It was the kindergarten teacher's birthday and the students decided that they would each buy their teacher a gift.
The first student, whose parents own a florist shop, gave her a present. She held it and said, "I guess that it is flowers."
"How did you guess?" asked the little boy. She laughed and thanked him.

The second student, whose parents own a candy store, gave her a present. She held it and said, "I guess that is some candy."
"How did you guess?" asked the little boy. She again laughed and thanked him also.
The third student, whose parents own a bottle shop, gave her a box which was leaking. The teacher touched the liquid with her finger and tasted it. "Mmmmm is it wine?" she asked.
"No," said the little girl. So she tasted it again. "Is it champagne?" she asked.
"Noooooooo," replied the little girl, "It's a puppy!"
I’m so glad that when I read the bible, that I can know what God is like. He leaves His character written all over the pages. He gives us very clear names that He goes by so that we can know what to expect from Him. For instance, one name He calls Himself is Jehovah Jireh, which means “The God who provides.” So if you need a financial blessing, He says, “I’m your provider, I even call myself “Provider!” There are so many other names He calls Himself when you are in need of a savior…..Healer, Peace, Protector, Sanctifier, God who is always there…. What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and grief’s to bear, what a privilege to carry, everything to God in prayer.
