All Your Eggs in One Basket
Wow! How many times do we do just that? We put all our eggs in one basket. Not just bad baskets but good baskets too. We get inside our own little worlds and think that anyone who doesn't look like me, think like me, worship like me, love like me, cheer for the same things as me, dislike the same things as me are just wrong and different and worthy of none of my time and effort.
You know that is the truth. Just tonight I am sitting at the Magic game and the guy behind me says that Dwight Howard is overrated. Later he says the Noles got lucky this season and my blood gets to boiling. I turn around and he has a UCF hat on. Is that what saved him from getting a piece of my mind? Dunno. What would give me the right anyways because my eggs are in the Magic and Seminole's baskets?
Sometimes we think when we are changing our lives, taking our eggs out of the unhealthy, unproductive baskets in our lives, that we need to start removing others eggs from that basket too. Not cool. Heard Pastor Mike at our church say that unsolicited advice is criticism! Whoa...never thought of it like that, but if you ask I am going to let it go.
I know I have too many eggs in some baskets and not enough in other baskets. I also know that over my 31 years I have learned one thing. If the father, the son, and the holy ghost have control over all my eggs in all my baskets, even if the bottom of a basket falls out or it seems like my baskets are about to crash, I know that I am going to be okay.
Jeremiah 29:11 look it up! And remember where your eggs are, there your heart is also. Mind your own eggs too. :•)
