I just had one of those glimpses.
You know the one I’m talking about.
The one where you’re in your comfies, you’ve had a bit to eat, and the dishes are done. You sit down on the couch next to your cuddled-up mutt (in the middle of a squirrel-chasing dream, I’m sure) and you can hear your husband talking to his life-long mentor on the phone in the next room. You know he’s going to hang up the phone and be full, too, but in a different and great way.
And then you’re like… Lord, thank you for all of this. Not the material and the personal stuff, but for making me complete in You.
I don’t know where you are tonight and what your circumstance is. You may be single, living alone, and wondering when God is going to give you “everything.” Sister, He already has given it to you. He is teaching you something right where you are today that He wants you to use for your future.
You may be a stay-at-home mom and you chase children all day, wiping stuffy noses and trying to instill a passion for Christ into your babies – all while trying to be a wonderful example to them and be the “right” kind of parent. Sister, you have such a special and amazing job. Your children will call you blessed.
Or you may be just like me. A newlywed, without kids, in this interesting and wonderful and curious life stage. And I’m learning so much right now.
