Don't Give Up on the Gravy
Reading my title you are thinking what?? Well I will tell you last night at 9 o'clock at night I was making biscuits and gravy for the boys. (they love that stuff) Now you have to understand when I make gravy it is with flour and milk and yes bacon grease. But I never measure anything I just make it. So I was stirring and it was not thickening up. I thought "Well I messed this gravy up!" Right about the time I was ready to give up guess what happened, yep it started to get thicker. I was just about ready to throw that gravy in the trash and then all of a sudden it was perfect. I was thinking as I was making 3 boys big plates of biscuits and gravy last night. That life is sometimes like gravy. We just throw a bunch of stuff into our schedules and hope it works out. Sometimes people don't let it cook long enough to see the final product they give up on it. Just like some people are giving up on their life that they have been building because they think it is not perfect. But if you would just wait and keep stirring more times than not you are going to have that moment when you are sooooo glad that you didn't give up. So my challenge is that, everyone is dealing with things in life that are hard. But, don't stop stirring! Don't give up on the gravy, and DON'T throw it away!
