Of Lamenting And Celosia.......

Did you know there is a difference in lamenting and complaining?  I hadn't thought about it until I studied the chapter for today's Friday Bible Study.  They are two different ways to handle the same feeling with two very different results.  Complaining is venting your feelings, pure and simple and not very productive.  But when we are hurt or uncertain and we take it to God and put our difficulties into His hands with confidence in His love for us, He will use it for our good though it may not feel good at the moment.  There are plenty of examples in the Psalms if you need some guidance. There is also a place for corporate lament concerning world and national events, which I think is a very timely subject.  I layered my Bible Study shot with a shot of Celosia as a nod to Flower Friday at Blip.  The last thing for today is that I will ask you to click on the link below to help produce mammograms for those who cannot afford to pay  https://thebreastcancersite.greatergood.com/clicktogive/bcs/home  It will cost you nothing, but the time it takes to click.....
