SIR CROWS A LOT

Sir Crows A Lot

Our neighbors that live across the alley behind us has a rooster whom I call, Sir Crows A Lot. He doesn’t just give the early morning cock-a-doodle-doo, he goes at it all day long.  Just now, I was in the kitchen preparing to boil an egg for breakfast. Ironically, I heard the rooster but at the same time I seem to pay him no mind at all. It was like I heard him, but I didn’t hear him. All of a sudden it dawned on me that the Lord has delivered me from being irritated by Sir Crows A Lot. Even though he’s still there, I was paying him no mind at all.

I wished I had learned this 40 years ago when I was letting crows-a-lot co-workers get on my very last nerve. Paying them no mind would’ve gotten me through a lot of tough days.

Ephesians 3:20 (Amplified Bible) Now to Him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do super-abundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest thoughts, desires, prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us.

Colossians 3:15 (NKJV) And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.

"What rooster?" 🐓

"What irritating co-worker?" 😖

To God be the glory.
