I read an interesting article this morning.
What those company initials stand for
“H” comes from a women’s store called Hers and “M” comes from a hunting supplier called Mauritz Widforss.
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
- Ever wonder about the stories behind names like CVS or H&M or IKEA?
- Pharmacy chain CVS started out as “Consumer Value Stores”
- IKEA takes first 2 letters from founder’s name, second 2 letters from locations
Anyway it got me thinking. What does our name stand for? Not the letters, but those who know us or maybe have only heard other speak of us, what do they think of when they hear our names?
A good name is more desirable than great riches;
to be esteemed is better than silver or gold. Proverbs 22:1Are our names valuable in a good way? I am not talking about having a good name in a prideful way, not in what we have or who we are, but rather what we stand for. What do folks think of when they hear your name. I once heard a guy hare a message about neighbors. Do your neighbors know you are a believer of Christ? Or are you known as the one who drives the Mercedes? Maybe you are known as the mom with all the children. Maybe you are known as the guy who fixes cars. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we were known as, “the one who prays” or “that is someone who lives what they preach”. When I was young one of my grandfathers was known for his relationship with the Lord. I never knew his occupation, and we all called him a fanatic, he was a little too serious about Jesus. Now that I am grown I realize that his name was of great value. I want to have that same reputation. It would be the greatest compliment to be described as, “oh yeah I know her, that lady that really is in love with Jesus:.

Well it is that time of year in TN. Things are hatching, big things little things and gross things. We have ducklings, chicks, kittens, and oh yeah, bugs. Tons of bugs, gross bugs, disgusting bugs, sick bugs and ugly bugs. And the kind that eat things that I would rather be eating myself. We have peaches this year, peaches are kind of tricky to grow here, usually the frost kills off the blossoms before there is any fruit. But this year they survived the frost. Now we pray they survive the bugs. Some sort of beetles often get them. This year though I am well armed. This year I have End All.
EndALL insect spray is safer. It is organic and a lot safer than the things we have previously used like sevin. I want something that is safe for my family and the environment. Spraying poison on my food makes me nervous, so I like to get something safe, it’s important to me that it is OMRI®-listed and compliant for use in organic gardening. Keeping my family’s food safe is something that matters to me. We put a lot of work into our garden to provide healthy food, what a waste of time that would be if we put unhealthy poison on it or lets the bugs eat it all. Take a look for yourself, it is a lot more economical than what we have used in the past.
I posted this status on my facebook page this morning.
The grass is not any greener on the other side of the fence. Be grateful for what God has given you.
The comments I got were quite amusing. Mostly agreements and Amens. But some folks added in more information. It pretty well can be summed up like this. The grass may appear greener. The grass may even be greener, but that is usually because there has been lots of manure there. Even if the grass is greener it means you will have to work harder at the upkeep. So it all goes back to the same thing.
Be grateful for what God has given you.
Love is patient,
love is kind.
It does not envy,
