Picture this. Early this morning, about 6:30 to be exact, my girls and I all ended up in my bathroom at the same time. I caught my breath from the morning activity and caught too a surge of energy from above, and decided to put a few curls in my hair. I grabbed a compact mirror to turn around and use it to see the back of my hair in my big bathroom mirror. Banner kept on pulling her hair up. She's focused! Blaise looked at me like I was a total idiot and said WHY DO YOU NEED THAT little mirror, you have your big one?
She had never seen the 2 mirror, back of the hair thing. You can tell Banner and I don't primp much. Blaise was just amazed. Banner and I were too because Blaise is so funny! Blaise had an eye opening lesson. It was unexpected.
I had one too today when I turned on Joyce Meyer. She said "It sure is easy to be nice and happy at church on Sundays, but it's behind closed doors at home that really matters." Ouch! I needed that reminder. With the new school year and the massive amount of homework, dinner, lunch preparation, laundry, dishes, and work here at night, I needed to be reminded that THIS IS IT! The homework, dinner table, backyard ballgames, and time with my family at home is where I really need to ask The Lord to help me. I did that this morning. I requested an extra dose of joy, patience, and energy. My eye opening lesson today was not as much fun as the one Blaise got with the mirrors, but I needed it. Look for your lesson today. Always be willing to be molded, changed, and refined.
