March 16, 2010

Good Morning:  Did you ever hear the story of the little boy who came home from church and told his mom they had sung about "Gladly, the Cross Eyed Bear" that morning?  Now his mom had heard a lot of hymns, but had never heard one about a Cross Eyed Bear named Gladly.  Turns out the song was "Gladly, the Cross I Bear."  Trouble is, we do come in contact with people who act like cross-eyed bears or even we ourselves act that way.  On those grouchy days, we have gone cross-eyed and lost our focus on the Lord.  We're not seeing things clearly through God's eyes.  God's words tell us plainly to "look to Jesus."  When we look to Him, he sharpens our focus, clears up the fuzzy edges, and straightens us out.  So, don't be a cross-eyed bear today.  Look to the Lord for help.  And if you meet up with one of those cross-eyed bears, surprise him with a big old bear hug.  It might just help to straighten him out and make you feel better, too.  Have a wonderful day!
