Simple tasks…

 Simple tasks….

It all started when I wanted one pancake for breakfast…it went downhill from there…

The flax seed spilled, the tiny vac came out to clean, it popped open dumping all of its accumulated dust, next vac came out, then three floor moppings to get the fine dust,…I didn’t know that my floor needed mopped before breakfast or that my tiny vac could hold so much dust…

I finally got my pancake quite awhile after the initial start…

  Those simple tasks which change to multiple jobs in a different direction…

one broken sprinkler head which snaps and requires at least one trip to the hardware store or the whole area dug up to repair a broken pipe…

spilt milk…

one question that leads to whole library search…

a small homemade lunch for a boy, feeding the five thousand…

a lost coin leading to a thorough housecleaning to find it…

making mud out of a handful of dirt, giving sight to a blind person…

a smile to strangers, lightening their day…

An act of kindness to care for the weary…

A cup of water given in Jesus’ name…

A listening ear…

An apology….

Seven dips in a river…

A prayer…

A thank you…

Simple tasks, all, oh, but the ramifications may be large, may change one’s eternity…

Both Nicodemus and the jailer asked a simple question…basically “how can I be saved?”  Simple answer…believe on the Lord Jesus Christ… a simple task/question with long term effects…

Thank YOU….

Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ 

16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

John 3:5-7,16

And the jailer called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas. Then he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.”

Acts 16:29-31

Poem…for the want of a nail…

For the want of a nail, a shoe was lost. 

For the want of a shoe, a horse was lost…

For the want of a horse a rider was lost,

For the want of a rider, a battle was lost,

For the want of a battle a kingdom was lost, 

And All for the want of a horseshoe nail…
