Will God Provide?

Here we are again for another Five Minute Friday, where a number of writers gather for a weekly writing challenge around a single word prompt and write to our hearts content, but only  for five minutes (or there abouts).

This weeks word prompt is ‘provide’. Click here if you want to see what other people wrote. You can also have a go yourself. What do you think of when you hear the word ‘provide’?

When you’re tired, call on Strength.

I’m joining the Five Minute Friday Community again this week (I know it’s Saturday, but it’s better late than never, hey?) When I saw the word prompt for this weeks write, I nearly laughed! The word is ‘tired’ (and you can read other people’s musings if you click here).

My Biggest Regret Turned Into My Biggest Blessing

Having a regret in life is something that can tear us apart, inside and out. We have regrets when we make bad decisions in learning, when we are in love, and when we lose something. We also have regrets when we blame ourselves for something or when we are scared and being held back by fear.

I’ve probably had many regrets in my life, but I’ve got over most of them. The one thing I regret most in my life though is my choice in education. I don’t have a degree.

We Hopefully Yearn

I’m joining up again with the Five Minute Friday Community, but this time with something different. The prompt we were given was the word ‘why’.

I expected to either write about all the whys we can ask God, or better still, all the whys we get from our children when they are in one of those wind up moods. You know, when you tell them to do something and they make that three letter word sound like the longest word going…

”Whyyyyyyyyyyy?”

You get what I mean? Well, I wrote something different instead. This week I have been prompted to write a poem. If you want to read what other people wrote, then click here.

Agree to Disagree

As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions. One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables. Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him.

Romans 14:1-3

When I don’t agree with something, you will know about it. I may not always say it, I usually would do though, but I think my face gives it away most of time! So if you see my eyebrows furrowing when you’re talking and I’m still silent, I’ll apologise now because it’s probably because I don’t agree with you. I will keep quiet though, not because I know better, but because I will respect you and you have your own opinion.
