Parables, more Parables, everywhere Parables

There are probably very few people who are not familiar with Jesus using and speaking in parables, there are less folks who understand (as Ray is fond of saying) the entire bible is a parable.
Sir Isaac Newton exclaimed that nature, the entire world is a parable.
Do any of you when you are interacting with family, friends, coworkers or complete strangers ever stop and think, "wow :o this experience is a parable/type/shadow of a spiritual lesson God has provided for me to meditate on and learn from?"
Ever have moments like that?
Peace,
Joe

Hey Joe
I have found that anytime, I talk to anyone who is not like minded in the things God has been showing me in his word, it is a parable to them and you can see that they do not understand, at first it bothered me to see so many quote scripture wrong, only to realize that most don't even know what they are doing, They Are Blind!

Everything to me is a parable. I see them in some of the most simple things.
This is more so since Ive came to BT. It can keep me busy trying to figure them out and mediate on them.
Its usually in the what seems to be the little things that most of them appear, but only if I examine them. Then there are times that they are ever so obvious. I can see or find a parable everyday if I am watchful.

Wow! Joe. Thank you! Life as a parable, maybe that would explain some of the mysteries of life..I have mysteries in my life and I ask God why? why THIS? Why NOW? No answers just more mysteries...God is using these mysteries these parables, I guess to lead us to a place in Him that we do not know yet...sometimes it is a bit frightening...remembering, God is in control...thanks again! :-\

Hi Joe, I can see this forum of family members fellowshiping as a type/shadow of good things to come. Learned a lot of lessons here, I cant imagine the lessons we will learn when we are finally in His image. ;)
Peace, G.Driggs

That's pretty much my answer as well. Doesn't really matter what is going on around me, the Spirit means it for teaching. There's something very liberating about having a glimpse at how all these things that God is working out will end up. Pretty much all I have to do is shut up.
