Things That Don't Make Sense To Me

I enjoyed this post by Jeana over at the blog Days to Come. Even though she's writing from the perspective of a wife/mother I can relate to her list of "Things That Don't Make Sense To Me"...

1. How having four children quadrupled the love I have for my kids instead of dividing it into four.

2. How focusing on meeting my husband's needs results in my needs getting met.

3. Why having a lot of "me" time tends to make me more self-centered, not less.

4. Why serving other people makes me more content, not less.

5. How spending time with God usually results in me accomplishing more that day, not less.

6. Why exercising gives me more energy, and not exercising makes me more tired.

7. How submitting to God's will brings freedom rather than confinement.

8. Why things that taste good often are not good for me.

9. Why having fewer things makes me enjoy them more--and vice versa.

10. How I can know all of these things are true and too often behave as though they are not.

Wow, I'm flattered! If you saw the post right above that, you already know I'm a fan of yours. Thanks!

Thank you for sharing this, Mr. Harris=)

These things that don't make any sense to normal humans actually make sense to God's chosen people...because we have the eyes to see and the ears to hear...God's amazing grace was shed on us that we may enjoy all that God has to offer=) How thankful I am...and how convicted I feel to share the good news with everyone I meet--strangers and friends alike.

love to live for God,

Sarah

Thanks Josh for directing to this & thanks Jeana for writing it.

"how grace, why grace?" might be an awesome question to ask ourselves. thanks for a great post.
