I know that they would've loved to have me play too. Yet I didn’t ask.
Instead I did what I usually do: I cleaned up. The next day we were ready for a snack. The plan was that I would make it, and then we’d eat while playing a game of Uno together. I asked the children to help with the clean-up, while I made the food. They did, and finished before I did. What followed was some sort of a wrestling/tackle/get the ball game on the living room floor. Again, I found myself in the kitchen, getting things ready, not a part of the play.

In retrospect I wonder why I was so bothered by it. Clearly my heart was not focused on his prayer!
I am often rubbed wrong when the Lord begins to shine light on an area where I need growth. How about you? Do you find yourself bristled by observing things you yourself need to grow in? That is exactly what happened to me here. This beautiful couple joined our small group. I learned from her. And about a year later, when the Lord shined the light on my need to grow in honoring my husband, guess who I called? |
