Learn a new thing

4 January 2012

Matthew 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

Life is about learning new things, no matter what the day brings we should all experience something new in each day. It is when we have this expectation that we will find something new in each day and we start to see the adventure in each day. Something’s we learn are positive and have a positive influence on us, others are negative and have a negative influence on us. But no matter what we learn and from this the knowledge we gain, makes us more interesting to ourselves and to others.

For my own experience I now know what a tick bite really looks like when one is bitten by an infected tick.  Just before Christmas I was cutting the long grass at the entrance to Linga-Longa and a tick bit me just below my knee. It was just as well that I went to the doctor and started the medication. Thank the Lord I am OK, none the worse for the experience, but a lot wiser when it comes to tick bites. If only all our experiences of the negative turns out OK, then what a learning curve we are on!

We do not always see the ticks that bite us, and I suppose we do not always recognise the ticks that we meet in life. We need to learn from experience how to avoid them and so keep our life and lifestyle more healthy.

Be encouraged to learn a new thing every day, it makes a better you.

David

Point to ponder: God’s blessings are new every morning.
