Mumford's Musings. "The World is Your Oyster."

Mumford’s Musings.

The world is your oyster…

With God we can do anything (Philippians 4:13). There is huge opportunity waiting on the one hand but, there are a lot of irritants in life on the other.  Poison ivy on the skin as we brush past those irritants. Grains of sand that get under the skin can cause a major irritant.  Of course a grain of sand in an oyster shell eventually forms the jewel of a pearl.  It was Sir Winston Churchill who said, “If you are going through Hell, keep going!”  It was William Shakespeare who said, “The world is your oyster.” An idiom from ‘The Merry Wives of Windsor’ (1600).
Allow the irritants of life to form jewels within you.
Jewels that others will see form the adornment of God.
