Choices, choices. Hard to make sometimes no? But what power we have... to make choices. Better yet, what power we've been given.
Last Sunday we had a family night... nights that I so treasure!
But a quick story:
We ordered pizza, so dad and I went to go pick it up. When we had the pizza and we headed out of the pizza place, a Papa John's employee was walking towards us and passed us with two bags loaded with food labeled KFC.
Oh the irony.
But poppa said, "Well, that's the power of choice for ya."
The employees work at a pizzeria yet a comrade goes out to get some chicken for the crew. They decided they wanted chicken and mashed potatoes.
And dad said, "Those are the things that I try to think about. With any small or huge thing in life. God has given us the ability to make decisions. He gave us that freedom, that independence. But that's where He comes in and says, 'Hey, well, I suggest that you take my road. Keep me in your plans. Choose me because I know what's good for you.' But ultimately it's up to us to accept or reject. To welcome or shun. Left or right."
"'Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.'"
Matthew 7:13-14
"'Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.'"
Mattew 11: 29-30
