Poor Noah
We just arrived back home after a great 24 hours in Waxahachie, TX. When we got home I noticed that our dog Noah was a little sluggish. As my son and I were playing the wii, I noticed that Noah had thrown up a little. I quickly took him outside as I proceeded to clean up the tiny bit of his doggy vomit. I went to let him back in the house. No sooner had I shut the door after him when I heard my son begin to shout, “Noah did diarrhea!” As I turned, there it was. A few puddles on my kitchen floor.
As went to clean up the new mess that Noah had made, I noticed some long spaghetti like things in his stool. My wife to Noah to the doggy hospital where he was diagnosed with roundworms. My dog is sick!
They told us that we can expect to see many, many more worms in the next couple of days. Oh Lord! I already lost my dinner when I had to clean his mess. Help me Lord these next few days as Noah gets de-wormed.
Just thought I’d share what we came home to after an awesome 24 hours at SAGU!
NEGLECT
It’s been over two months since I blogged. I must admit, I am ashamed of that. This is an endeavor that I set out to do. I enjoy writing. I can be opinionated. And more than anything, I wish to share the greatness of who God is with everyone and anyone. And this has been an avenue for me to do that. So why haven’t I blogged? Was there a tragedy that took place in my life? Did I get into a horrible accident and was forced to be out of commission for a while? The answer is “NO”. The reason why I haven’t written, shared, or even just come to visit the site is because of sheer NEGLECT! I just flat out neglected it.
When I was actively blogging and being consistent with it, I had a decent following of people that would stop by and read what I had to say. It was nice to see my stats and to know that people were receiving the messages that I was putting out through this blog. But I neglected it. I lost an audience. I lost the interest of people. And maybe I lost the opportunity of having someone come across this blog to read about what God is doing in my life. All because of neglect.
I wonder what things others have neglected in their lives. What relationships have been severed because of neglect? What opportunities have been lost because of neglect? Neglect is something that damages and destroys. God wants for us to “work” what we’ve been given. If we work it, he’ll bless it. I want to encourage you today. If you’ve been neglecting something or someone that is important to you, make the decision to quit neglecting. Pay attention. Work it. Do your part. When you do, God will bless it and good things happen when God’s blessings are around.
If anyone would like to share something that you’ve been neglecting lately, I’d love to hear about it and about what you intend to do from this point on.
