Eleanor Just Doesn't Quite Get It
Eleanor didn’t learn her lesson. If you read my post earlier
this week she had been attacked by a porcupine with 16 quills. Yesterday, she
encountered another porcupine miles away from the first one resulting in a devastating
experience. This time there were 61 quills and pain so excruciating that it
took a doctor and anesthesia along with a large bill to remove all of them.
Eleanor had repeated her mischievous behavior and paid a big price for it.
We often repeat our mistakes too. Our first consequence may
not hurt enough to keep us from making the wrong choice a second time, but as
the pain of the consequence with the repeated choice is increased it might make
us start to think twice about continuing down the dangerous path.
Will you be smarter than Eleanor and learn to make better
choices with each decision so that you don’t have to suffer needlessly?
Psalm 119:71 It was good for me to be
afflicted
so that I might learn your decrees.
