burning bush

There are a lot of forest fires in our area, they are not uncommon but this year as dry as it is there are more than usual. The smoke is sometimes very heavy, we hear of forest fires often in the news but not until it comes close to you do you ever pay much attention to the fires, it is a bit of news and that's that. My daughter from Minnesota called and said to keep our smoke up there in Northern Alberta where it belongs.
      In Exodus 3 God appears to Moses in a burning bush, it wasn't until God saw that Moses turned aside to see , that God spoke to Moses. I ask myself , how often does God appear to me and I treat it like a bit of news and go on my way? Mayby I will mention it to my wife when I get home and that will be a 5 minute conversation and on with my life.
     In verse 3 Moses said, " I will now turn aside and see". There are many things that come to mind, I wont mention but a few,      "I"  often I say, some should, that someone is me, If God appears to me than it is me He is calling my attention to.  The other thing is   "Now" I will now turn aside. I often push it off talk to other people, pray, and  think about it for a while.  We need to act now not later, in Mathew 8;21&22 a disciple said," let me first" Jesus let him know there is no first except Him.
The last thing for now is "see" ask God to open your eyes to see what He wants you to see. If I had my way the only thing I would look at is big trucks and big machinery I love equipment. I need to stop, turn aside and ask God to show me .


                          He took the fall so I can stand, let us all stand for Jesus.


God bless each of you as you turn aside and seek His path.  Check out Jer. 6:16.




Love you.

long time no see

It has been a long time , I am not a blogger but will try again and  see how it will all come about. I am a truck driver by trade, however , it has been a few years that I have been in a commercial truck, once a trucker always a trucker.  That's what someone told my wife before we got married, I did get off the truck for the most part. We have been married for 40+ years, It is not an occupation, or anything like it that will break up a marriage, it is sin in our lives and  an unwillingness to let Jesus Christ have control of our lives. If I and my wife each draw closer to Christ we will automatically draw closer to one another. The person that needs to change in a marriage is the one you see every morning when you stand at a mirror. So much for that, God bless.
       I am still working at the public school as an EA , teachers helper, I do enjoy the work, love the boys and girls and do hope I make a difference in their lives, they definatly are making a difference in my life. I don't know how to spell deffinatly.


                God bless and see you some time in the future.


love
