"Wow Sam, you can't imagine how hard it is to take a picture of what has been on my mind the last three days," Simmy said.
"What's that?" Sam asked.
"Remember last night when we were going to the movie, 'Red' and we were being chauffeured by oldest son, and I told you that God had been repeatedly speaking this one piece of a Biblical proverb to me?"
"Mmm Hmm," Sam was in holiday mode of laissez- faire thinking... if there is such a thing.
Likely, thinking is more work than the broadly accepted meaning of that phraseology and the literal translation in French, 'Let's do!,' is more on the pin.
"Well, I only had the phrase, 'and He adds no sorrow to it' and I said I needed to find the verse to see what the first part is..."
Sam went to do the dishes and Simmy went to take a few pictures of what the proverb could represent...
'The blessing of the Lord brings wealth and He adds no sorrow to it."
"So, that's the whole sentence," Simmy thought. 'What is a representative picture of that, Sam?'"
Sam didn't have any ideas on this one.
Simmy had come through her 'three day Jacob wrestle' and last night her spirit had been antsy and impossible to calm... but some time in the night... the battle had ended.
And that was before she had checked out the first part of the proverb.
Now, the earthly word that came to mind was 'multiplication' and David had told her, just before Christmas, that things will suddenly, multiply and multiply and multiply. Simmy had sensed that was a prophetic word... he had that gift at times.
Snap, snap, snap,... a picture of multiplication here...
It takes a lot of faith to wade through the times of drought but... without faith it is impossible to please God.
Interesting, a person could take a lot of 'guff' from others if one was called a 'people-pleaser' but obviously the concept of pleasing is pleasing to God.
Motive... it's all about motive...
So, multiplication is always happening... P.A. once said that.
And... if it is always compounding... and it is... then, that flywheel has got to be moving.
Simmy looked for another picture of multiplication and she spotted the coin drapery. When she had chosen this for a wedding scheme, she had done it for a few different meanings and today, these coin curtains were speaking again...
Really, the sweet peas, in summer had already been shouting their message and so, it was just time to do 'next things.'
What were the lessons learned in the last few years?
1. You must not ask for an inheritance that belongs to someone else.
(I've been exploring that one for quite some time now and the meaning of that. It's not an easy one.)
2. God sovereignly gives talents, gifts, abilities to whomever He pleases... Use them!
3. Appreciate Others' Gifts... very good principle.
4. Timing is sovereign, right on time, and brings results 'more than we can ask or think'
Laissez-Faire, My Friends, literally.
