What Comes Around

I've always been a firm believer of "What comes around, goes around". Although this isn't what it applies to, I'm really getting in to recycling old materials. A thrown away pallet made a really cool chair. Some scrap pvc pipe and scrap wood made some cute birdhouses. It's all about using a little creativity.

Robert and I have a huge recycling project coming up, but I'm keeping it under wraps for now. As we start, I will posts pictures. I hope you will get as excited as we are.

Anyway, back to what the blog was about. Some call it fate. Some call it karma. I believe it is God's way of evening out our universe. But truly, what comes around, goes around. When we knowingly do something that robs others, hurts others, or just is genuinely wrong, I believe something comes back our way ten fold. I've seen it way too many times, in my own life and in others'. We have completely changed the Golden Rule. Instead of "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you", we have changed it to "Do unto others before they do it to you". We've evolved into selfish, hurtful creatures who expect something from everyone. And I honestly believe that it's about to go around on us all real soon.

What can we do about it? We can begin with praying. After that, pray some more. Then look in the mirror to your heart. Are we happy with what we've become? Have you made right your wrongs? It's not as simple as just posting on your Facebook how great God is and what all hrs done for you. It's about going to the people that you have wronged and asking for their forgiveness. James 5:16 tells us to confess our trespasses to one another and pray for one another, that we may be healed. Most certainly, that should include talking to the one we've wronged.

Recycled. We can reclaim old stuff and make new things. We can reclaim our lives and get a new start. Start new. What comes around, goes around.
