Hey!

Just logged in to this account for the first time in ages. I miss it!

Well I think it is time to maybe start writing again...I don't know if anyone checks this anymore. everyone is on facebook now!

Here's something I was thinking anyway-

Learning to take the lessons of the past with us into the future with us is harder than it seems.

If a child burns himself on a hot iron, he won't touch it again, in fact he wont go near it. Because it hurts! 

In life we get burnt, we get hurt. We learn to protect ourselves. We don't go near the things again. We don't take the same risks, we don't step out in the same faith we once did. Because it hurts too much. We remember the pain of the failure, we have the burn scars on our hearts to prove it. 

I picked up a hot iron today to iron my shirt and it didn't burn me. Because I know where to hold it. Imagine if I never learnt an iron has a handle...all the crinkled shirts I would have worn!

Maybe we can apply this to life. We need to pick up the things that potentially can hurt us again, just not the same way. Approach it differently. 

Maybe you'll be surprised. 

Galatians 6:9 Let us not become weary doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
