Haven’t seen the movie…yet. Decided to read the book before I saw the movie. There’s an interesting dialogue:
“Aslan,” said Lucy, “you’re bigger.” “That is because you are older, little one,” answered he. “Not because you are?” “I am not. But every year you grow, you will find me bigger.”So true…He already seems ginormous! Imagine a few years from now! Eternity…wow!
Don’t get me wrong there’s nothing like looking back over a day’s activities and realizing you got a lot done. But a rainy day, good book, afternoon nap & evening with my family makes for an incredible day off. It made me think of Genesis 2:3 where God rested, the Hebrew word is shaabat transliterated as “sabbath”. It’s an intermission…a break…we all need one.
I woke up thinking about her. Moms do a million things some might seem insignificant at the time. Every night a Bible story before bedtime; school years spent in the corner, on detention, and in the principal’s office she had to wonder if it had an effect. It did…I love you Mom!
Yesterday it didn’t look like a big deal–still doesn’t just a border around a flower bed. But after 2600 lbs of rock I can barely walk (sounds like a line from a country western song) muscles back from an extended vacation. Use it or lose it…if I’m moving slow you know why.
You could say I am addicted. Put me in a different city on a Sunday and I want to see churches: what God is doing & how God is leading them. The last few days we’ve been hanging out at a church outside of Atlanta; words like amazing, encouraging, sovereign grace, and humility come to mind. Jesus said, “I will build My church”…He still is.
