Yesterday turned out to be an eventful day despite remaining in my house most of the day with a four year old who insisted I rub her back for an hour at a time. Once three o’clock rolled around, I knew it was time get out of my pajamas and pick up John Henry from school. Then, after a quick trip to Wal-Mart (insert sigh), I gave a dollar to my homeless guy. Not sure why I refer to him as my homeless guy other than he’s my favorite one to give to?
Moving on.
“Who is that?” Anna asked.
“It’s a man who doesn’t have a home,” I ‘splained.
“Well, he can come live with us,” she suggested. “He can sleep on the floor in your room.”
“I don’t think daddy would like that, and I’d really have to hear from God on that one,” I told her.
So, in jumps John Henry.
“And, people might think we had someone strange in our family if he lived with us,” John Henry added. (I wanted to tell him that we actually do have some strange ones in our family, but I’ll just let him figure that one out in his own time. You know. Kind of like working your way through your own salvation.)
“Oh, I see. He’s strange because he has a beard,” Anna said.
Exactly. Because he has a beard. Wha?
Sometimes, you just go with it.
Later that evening, we went to John Henry’s Spring Program at his school. He and his class sang Jami Smith’s “Your Love Is Deep.” I could have sworn it was just for me. You know those moments you needed to be reminded of God’s love, and you didn’t even know you needed it? I had one of those. God is good. Yes, He is.
So, even later that evening, I went out to meet up with some of my Bible Study girls. For fella-ship and to talk about stuff that’s not in the Bible but should’ve been. Or, perhaps, not. Anyhoo, when I headed back home, I noticed the most amazing lightening show ev-ah! Wow. Things you don’t really see when you’re inside playing Scramble on your iPhone.
So, that’s pretty much it. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. And, just in case you need a reminder of His love. I’ll leave you with one of my fav-oh-right scriptures.
…And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 1 8may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:17-19
