The "F" word

What a lot of words there are that commence with the letter"F". There's fifty, which is what I'm turning today. There's fragile, which is what our church is, according to some people. Too much is reliant on too few to make it happen. What would happen if someone left? Are fifty and fragile linked? Sometimes I think they are, but then I realise that 50 is a lot of experience and a lot (God willing) of living still to go.

What about Faith? Are faith and fragile linked? Or are they opposites? Perhaps when things appear fragile we need to exercise more faith. Maybe then the church will look more fruitful and more fantastic and more ...

For me I want to be seen as more faithful ie more full of faith. I'd also like to be more fruitful, but I guess that's in God's hands. Still there is much to be grateful for. Out of the 59 people present in worship this morning 20 have started attending since we were appointed here just fourteen months ago. That's fantastic! God is faithful!!!

Any more f words you can think of?

As I read the word 'forever' popped into my head.
We are 'forever' people -
'forever' with the Lord - an exciting thought!
or
'forever' in hell - a sobering thought!

Happy birthday for yesterday!

F - "Fellowship" with God ;)
F - Frustration. (because I'm a living sacrifice that keeps on crawling off the altar!)

I'm stuck on the topic of "Faith" lately; and can't help but think I am lacking it --- and thus, seeking more of it ~ God willing.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I was inpsired to read them. Keep being an instrument for God.

God Bless.
