Uneven Exchange

 Uneven Exchange
 
Ever buy something online and when you get it, it doesn't fit just the way you wanted it to, or you don't like the color, and you want to do an exchange for something else? You decide to take advantage of the store's exchange policy and do an even exchange, and if you can make that happen then everything is a wash.

 If the new item is of less monetary value than the item that you are exchanging it for, then you are looking for a return of the difference you paid. If that money is not forthcoming, then there's going to be hell to pay for the merchant who is trying to beat you out of your cash with this uneven exchange.

But, you know something? There’s another uneven exchange that was done on my behalf and had it not been done, there would have been hell to pay, for me! But… He exchanged His righteousness for my sin!

For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.  2Cor 5:21(NKJV)

Thank You Lord!

Waking up to the sound of church bells from five blocks away ringing out the melody of How Great Thou Art.

 Smelling something yummy wafting through the air on a Saturday morning as my husband cooks breakfast for me.

Touching the tips of my fingers to the keyboard of my laptop as I create a story or share a thought.

Tasting the sweet experience of an annual family get together and there hasn't been one argument or fight!

Seeing someone walk up to the altar on a Sunday morning to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior!!

Who is like the Lord? There is no one.
He never sleeps or slumbers.
He is worthy to be praised.


The LORD is watching everywhere, keeping His eye on both the evil and the good. Proverbs 15:3 (NLT)
For your (my) ways are in full view of the LORD, and He examines all your (my) paths. Proverbs 5:21 (NIV)

Wanna Make God Laugh?

Back in the day, when I was a kid in school of reading, writing and ‘rithmetic I loved to erase the blackboards, (yes, we used blackboards back then). I was the blackboard eraser monitor.  The teacher would write on the board what we were going to do for that day in one column and, in another column she would write a long list of classroom plans for the next month. At the end of the day it was my job to erase the blackboard.  One time I erased the wrong column. My teacher was upset and not happy as she said, “You erased the wrong thing! You erased my monthly plans! Now I have to write them all over again.”

Now, as an adult, living in the school of life, when I write my plans on the blackboard of my heart and mind, and some of them don’t come to pass, I don’t let it keep me down. I’ve learned to write my plans on my inner blackboard and just give God the eraser.

Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails.
Proverbs 19:21(NIV)
