Uncertain Times

Pam Weinreis • Mar 15, 2020

I waited impatiently in the hospital lobby, watching old men, young mothers, sick babies, each seeking physical answers.


Whether it’s a minor symptom or a terminal disease, we strain for answers. (Rightfully So)


This cold and rainy morning, I couldn’t help wonder,


“Do we go to these lengths to find the cure for our fractured soul?”


Ever since Genesis 3:1-17


They ate the forbidden fruit, as a result, sin enters upon all mankind and even upon the earth.


Do we recognize the brokenness in us, our empty longings?


Do we try to fill this void with the chasing of the American dream?


Are we in search of, more happiness, more pay, more self-indulgence, more time?


Has the chasing of our self-satisfaction made for a self-prison where we find ourselves never content?

The word of God states this world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.


2 Corinthians 4:18


And we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but what is unseen.


Matthew 16:24-26


Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it. And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul?”


What good would it be to gain the whole world yet, forfeit their soul?

Everyone is searching for something greater. In these uncertain times, we can be completely certain than anything other than a relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ will leave us empty, searching for more.


Until next time, Pam

Familiar

By Pam Weinreis • 14 Apr, 2024
What is familiar to you? Your children's voice, your spouse, your daily routine, the road you travel? We have many things very familiar to us. Webster defines familiar: common, well known, close association. The word origin from the Latin is, "the family footing."

Loneliness

By Pam Weinreis • 27 Feb, 2024
Nearly one out of three older Americans are lonely, according to a recent study. The study revealed that the biggest shift in loneliness rose among the younger generations. Loneliness is distress caused by a lack of satisfactory relationships, not just being alone.

Life That Is Truly Life

By Pam Weinreis • 10 Feb, 2024
Life That is Truly Life Is our society consumer based? Did you know that only a century ago 90 percent of Americans were farmers? Life was hard, but simpler too. They mostly lived off the land and traded with neighbors whatever else they needed. Money was rarely used. And most of the things they owned fell into the category of needs, not wants. Today only 2 percent of Americans work agriculture. The last century has radically reshaped the American economy. People moved to cities for jobs, where goods were produced. After the wars, politicians and businessmen worked hard to remake the American economy. It was said their goal was to get the simple farmers children to spend their time and money buying up the latest thing. To grow a generation of consumers.

Un-Hurry Your Life

By Pam Weinreis • 27 Jan, 2024
Have you ever considered "boredom" as good for you? Is boredom good for your kids? Do you remember a time when instant access to the internet, YouTube, tic-toc, and/or snapchat wasn't an immediate go to? How about this, waiting at the railroad tracks, waiting in traffic, sitting in a movie theater before the show with nothing for your mind to do but wander, listen, visit or just be quiet?

Thanksgiving

By Pam Weinreis • 24 Nov, 2023
It is the month set aside for thanks. I am struggling, and I still get turned around. Is my dwelling on the past or fretting over the future keeping me from the present? Is my anxiousness masked by anger? Do I discount this moment?

Distracted From Distractions

Are we a people, "distracted from distractions?"

New Birth

By Pam Weinreis • 27 May, 2023
The warmth of the sunshine does something for our souls. It seems to lift the spirit. Signs of spring are slowly showing up. The Little Missouri River’s running out of its banks. Baby calves scatter the hillsides. Green grass begs to grow. Just days before the Holy Week, our eighth grandchild is born.
