| He Makes Me Lie Down in Green Pastures. |
We
are so busy we often do not take time to rest and relax. Jesus tells us to come to Him - all those who
are weary and heavy laden and He will give us rest.
My
blogger friend Sharita recently shared The Green Dream and How to
Tame it at Tell Me a Story.
Her
post brought back memories about colors and a Green Dress that was mine at one
time.
Because of
the tones in our completion that God gave us; certain shades of color look best on
us. (Or not)
Personally,
I cannot wear certain colors such as; yellow, white, orange, red or lime
green. My favorite colors are shades of
purple, magenta, pink, blue and sometimes grey.
A
long time ago, I had a favorite GREEN dress, and wore it a LOT.
One
day my husband asked me to get rid of the dress because he hates green; so I
did as he asked. For years I shunned green clothing
to please him.
Recently
I realized that certain shades of green were lovely, especially dark forest green,
and so I began to add that color to my wardrobe.
Hubby
no longer objects to dark green as long as I also wear other colors.
These
days we hear a lot about “Living green,” and “Eating green,” and wonder what is
all the fuss?
It
is good to pay attention to how we treat our earth, and what we eat, but we
must use caution in getting caught up in causes that slow down our Spiritual
growth.

He is our best rest in this tiring world. Enjoy His green pastures, Hazel. Have a wonderful weekend.
I didn't wear purple for years for the same reason. My husband likes it now (I think it was the shade!) It's good to be reminded that we can get more caught up with causes and neglect time with God and what His will is for our life.
