Can we keep our focus simple so we spend more of our fleeting time on love?
And can we figure out how before the children are gone?
It didn't take long for me to realize that the hot little ball of frustration in my lap was the exact person I was reading about. One of the little boys who I was allowing myself to be angered by instead of focusing on what the summer really is about. After those five minutes, I took a deep breath, put on some happy kid music and enjoyed lunch with my kids. Some days, when we are sick or activities get canceled, I need to be reminded that God might be saying, "Stop thinking about the rest of it and love these kids. These days are not forever, this is the work I have for you right now." So even if it took me until noon, I am glad I see it now. I'm glad I didn't miss the dance party and popsicle time, because that was exactly where God wanted me that day.
