Shortcuts - Part 1

We live in a FAST-PACED society! Most of us want everything RIGHT NOW! Many times we are looking for a "shortcut" so we can move on to the next thing. However, we must understand relationships will NEVER be able to mature and grow "correctly" if we try to shortcut the steps of development and process of them. Never forget...there is always a downside to "shortcut" a relationship! Do you really want to deprive yourself of ALL that God intended for you?
SHORT CUTS ARE NOT ALWAYS THE BEST PATH!!
Husband:"The plastic frig shelf that stored milk on the side of the door has broke.
Wife:"What happened?"
Husband: "The milk was too heavy and broke the plastic shelf. However, we will get a new one on the 12th."
The wife thought for a minute and knew rather quickly what the problem had been. You see the milk weighed the same amount it has for the last 5 years. However, the husband had done much physical labor earlier in the day and was a bit "tired." The conversation continues...
Wife:"Did you just not bend over as far and possibly DROP the milk into the shelf?"
Husband: "Maybe, but you know that shelf is just plastic."
Wife: "Yes, it has been plastic for 5 years holding the same milk."
Husband: "Okay, well I DROPPED the milk onto the shelf." (Reverting back to teenage days???? LOL!)
Wife: "Yea, that's what I figure happened."
Moral of the story..
SHORTCUTS will not always lead you to the same result! Most times it will SHORT CHANGE you and you will need to have Amazon Prime sending a new shelf quickly so the Mrs. won't get upset.
In case you are wondering...YES, the husband is none other than "Mr. Pitcher" and the wife is "Mrs. Pitcher." Somehow the wife knew that God had a plan for this little mishap and therefore, she took a picture of the broken shelf without Mr. Pitcher knowing it
Next week...the story continues!

We love our manger scene we display at Christmas. Each year as we unwrap it, we actually think about that night that Jesus was born. Of course, there is much emphasis on Mary, the mother of Jesus. She was a chosen virgin to carry the son of God and she did so with such grace and obedience. However, on this particular morning in our home, God wanted to put some emphasis on baby Jesus and his dad. Look at the photo and see how the light from the window above in our living room shone brightly on baby Jesus and Joseph only!

It all started with a little baby in a manger, named Jesus. One day, I accepted Jesus into my heart and life has never been the same. As we come upon the celebration of our Savior's birth, it is our prayer that you will reflect at your "re-birth" in Christ. Do you remember where you were? Do you remember what it was that drew you to Him? Do you remember how you felt after? We all need to remember when we became a "child of God."
