Oh my! My daughter called to say that my grandson was out of school for the day. Lord, help me! This would prove to be an interesting one. It would throw a monkey wrench into my schedule. My nine o’clock meeting would require me to rush him to my mom’s and juggle somethings around. I began mentally readjusting my schedule, when I heard the pitter patter of two, familiar feet.
My grandson was up, ready for breakfast and I hadn’t even jumped in the shower yet. Panic crept in. I allowed my morning routine to drift off course and now it was catch up time. My to-do-list was planned to near perfection but God said, “Be Still!” I cancelled my morning meeting and allowed my day to go much slower. I cooked my grandson’s favorite, homemade pancakes, got some work done and when we headed out God said, “pause again!”
God interrupted the regular programmed schedule for His good. I stopped at the park to take a brisk walk and allow my grandson to ride his bike. Being outdoors does something supernatural for my mental health. Of course, God already knew that.
My mind was a bursting cloud and creative masterpiece with every step. I thought about everything under the sun. My grandson was so glad to be outside, his bicycle was an adventure in itself, to occupy his restlessness.
Today, was like a day after the storm...
Quiet, relaxing and full of new life.
The presence of sunlight after the storm is truly refreshing.
Lord, I thank you for the light!
“Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.”—Psalm 34:8
