The number of Amazon Prime next-day delivery members testifies to our impatient society. Paying more to get a product sooner has become a preferred lifestyle choice for over 200 million people. Horn honkers, foot-tappers, and irritated comments about the slowness of service seem to be more the norm than the exception, these days.\n\nDo our impatient lifestyles reflect in our walk with the Lord?<\/div><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/hisfavorite1.net\/hfvwpr54\/?p=2074\">WINDOW SHOPPING<\/a><div class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-excerpt\">Years ago our loving Lord showed me that &#8216;shopping&#8217; allows the enemy to plant seeds of discontentment in my thoughts. A new sofa with fresh colors became more attractive than my well-used, faded, reliable, older couch. Bright and cheerfully colored orange, teal, mustard, and red dishes drew me to want to throw out my recently purchased brown plates and bowls.\n\nRecently, I realized that home design shows were also planting seeds of discontentment in me. Thoughts of re-painting, and knocking down walls, this layout isn&#8217;t &#8216;good enough&#8217; anymore were cluttering my previously content, cozy thoughts of our home.<\/div><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/hisfavorite1.net\/hfvwpr54\/?p=2062\">HE SEES YOU<\/a><div class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-excerpt\">Oh honey, what&#8217;s wrong?&#8217; asked the middle-aged nurse when she saw the tear dribbling down my cheek. &#8216;It hurts so much,&#8217; my voice weak from the anesthesia whispered. &#8216;Oh honey, let me give you something for the pain,&#8217; she caringly responded. \n\nThe post-operative nurse saw me. She saw I had a need before I put it into words. She saw and she did something to relieve my pain, my hurt, and my distress.<\/div><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/hisfavorite1.net\/hfvwpr54\/?p=2051\">DECISION MAKING<\/a><div class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-excerpt\">Is your dream to start a cupcake business of the Lord? \nDoes the Lord want you to uproot your family from all they have ever known and move them across the country to take a promotion? \nDoes the Lord want you to take a position with less pay but would serve more people?\nIs this the person your friend just introduced you to someone you are supposed to get to know and perhaps marry? <\/div><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/hisfavorite1.net\/hfvwpr54\/?p=2042\">PLANTING BULBS<\/a><div class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-excerpt\">Many of us experience the different climate seasons of the year; spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Some of us even experience the other seasons; football, baseball, basketball, tennis, and golf. As the World Series and autumn approaches, I once again find myself buying daffodil, tulip, allium, hyacinth, and iris bulbs to plant. It has become as much a tradition as Thanksgiving. During the World Series, we plant bulbs.<\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hisfavorite1.net\/hfvwpr54\/?page_id=54\" data-type=\"URL\"
