child like faith.

so i never thought i could learn so much about casinos in just a few hours.

i went to my new job at a daycare, in flowood on monday. i was in the nursery for the afternoon, and with some older women. they talked about going to the casinos this weekend. it was quite ammusing to listen to. they talked about which casino was best to go to, whether they should go to vicksburg or the coast, how much money they should take in? they were so excited, talking about it all.

i wish Christians were that excited when they talked about Christ. a child like faith.





last night before i went to bed and i read Ecclesiastes 7. talk about wow! i was so in aw of what all it was saying.

"1 A good reputation is more valuable than costly perfume.
And the day you die is better than the day you are born.

2 Better to spend your time at funerals than at parties.
After all, everyone dies—
so the living should take this to heart.

3 Sorrow is better than laughter,
for sadness has a refining influence on us.

4 A wise person thinks a lot about death,
while a fool thinks only about having a good time.

5 Better to be criticized by a wise person
than to be praised by a fool.

6 A fool’s laughter is quickly gone,
like thorns crackling in a fire.
This also is meaningless.

7 Extortion turns wise people into fools,
and bribes corrupt the heart.

8 Finishing is better than starting.
Patience is better than pride.

9 Control your temper,
for anger labels you a fool.

10 Don’t long for “the good old days.”
This is not wise."

There is more of course, but these verses are so powerful. i really like verse 8.

"26 I discovered that a seductive woman is a trap more bitter than death. Her passion is a snare, and her soft hands are chains. Those who are pleasing to God will escape her, but sinners will be caught in her snare.

27 “This is my conclusion,” says the Teacher. “I discovered this after looking at the matter from every possible angle.
28 Though I have searched repeatedly, I have not found what I was looking for. Only one out of a thousand men is virtuous, but not one woman!
29 But I did find this: God created people to be virtuous, but they have each turned to follow their own downward path.”

i hope this opens your eyes. have a child like faith.

hope you all have blessed day!
