A “Blame Thrower”



Galatians 6: 5For each will have to bear his own load.”

I have come to realise that people constantly are looking for a scapegoat. I think of someone that has a specific task and has been instructed to do something for me. I must constantly remind this person to take responsibility for their actions but then I would be blamed or someone else or the weather or the specific appliance.

It makes me so angry but then there isn’t much I can do to get this person to take responsibility for their own actions. I remember what my daughter told me “mom, the noise in your head, isn’t in my head.”

I also realised that at the end of the day, yes, you can get away with your actions but there is going to come a day that we will be held responsible for our actions.

I also believe that whatever you believe will come to you. Being negative and looking through a negative eye will influence our lives. Jesus says that whatever we believe will come true.

Prayer

Lord humbly I pray forgive me for being negative and not always taking responsibility for my own actions. Help me not to become a “blame thrower” and take responsibility for my own life. Lord, humbly I pray for guidance and wisdom and insight and please Lord I believe that You have good things in store for my life, I believe that You will give me the desires of my own heart. Thank You, Lord for my children and step children and my grandchildren. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

The View from the Sycamore Tree

"Ill-gotten treasures have no lasting value, but righteousness delivers from death. The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry, but he thwarts the craving of the wicked. Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth." Proverbs 10:2–10 Reflection The Turning Point: I used to think that by this stage of my life. The path was already set in stone. I looked at the mirror and saw the silver hair and the lines of age. I felt as though I was simply watching the clock run out on my dreams. I’ve spent years in the "midlife crisis." Wrestling with the ghosts of regrets, careers that didn't flourish, relationships that felt the strain of time. The nagging fear of being "less than" in a world that prises youth and worldly success. But then I saw Zacchaeus. He was a man who had spent his life traveling in the wrong direction. Chasing "ill-gotten treasures" that left his soul hungry. When he climbed that tree, he wasn't just trying t...
