"Mom, Mom, MOM...."
"What!?"
"Will you get me a snack/drink/wipe my hiney/nose?"
"Kyler/Arnold/Ellie is bugging me/hitting me/won't share with me!"
"Can I help you do that/see that/eat that/play with that?"
and repeat.
Anyway, I thought it was time to elaborate on my last post just a bit. My good friend Jen called to make sure I wasn't packing my bags and heading to Africa without notice. She knows me well enough to know that I would. (Thanks for your concern Jen, I promise you will won't have to read it on Facebook if/when the time comes!)
Here is what God is teaching me, in a nutshell: That it isn't so important where I am physically as it is where my heart is at. That I need to be serving Him and needing Him and worshiping Him and sharing Him, no matter where on this earth I happen to be. And that at any time He could ask us to sell all that we have and move to Africa or anywhere else and He wants to know that I would say "yes, Lord."
See, selling my things and moving isn't the point, exactly. BUT being truly willing to sell my things if God asks me to and giving all that I have to give of myself, my time and my money no matter where I am is what being a Christian is all about. Loving Him, trusting Him, serving others.
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind and love your neighbor as yourself. Luke 10:27
