HAND OVER THE THROW PILLOWS, and no one GETS HURT!


Throw pillows bring women much JOY.

Doesn't matter if you live in a dorm room, apartment, or house.   We females live for throw pillows. At a department store, we are drawn to them like flies to dog doo.  

No explanation.

It just is.

We buy them, display them, get irritated when someone messes up our scientific arrangement, 

AND they bring us JOY.     Lots of it.

Recently, I decided to adorn my 2 bare window seats in the living room and adjacent dining room.  

I am confessing this to only YOU, I bought 16 throw pillows in one day. 



 Luckily, they were all on sale, AND I got 60% off the sale price. I spent about $5 per pillow:)  As you probably already know, there are rules about shopping for throw pillows.

1.can't spend more than $10
2.always have to be on sale
3.must have a coupon
4.look for threads hanging to get 10% more off.

Nuff said about that.

I have visions of a gaggle of women storming the Stein Mart or Home Goods with their purses swinging, coupons flying, screaming :

  "HAND OVER THE THROW PILLOWS 
AND NO ONE GETS HURT!"



What in the Cat hair?

Yes, we women of all ages, starting about 16 years old to our death, love throw pillows.  

They bring us joy.

We are drawn to them.

Sometimes we obsess over them.

We relentlessly pursue them.


....Which makes me scratch my head sheepishly and wonder:

When is the last time I relentlessly pursued my Jesus? 

When is the last time I was relentlessly drawn to Him?

When is the last time my relationship with Him brought me immense JOY?

Pursue your relationship with your Jesus BIGGER  than you do with those ole throw pillows.  

With Passion

With Fervor

Relentlessly.

It will bring you endless JOY.
