Five minutes. No Edits. Just writing.
The word is: Wonder
GO
Wonder…
Cleaning
up my kitchen, putting breakfast dishes away, washing the pan, scraping off the
remaining eggs...
And
the Christmas music is playing.
Amy
Grant's melody...
"Do
you wonder as you watch my face if a wise one should have had my place?"
Oh
Lord, I wonder that daily! The pieces you've put in my life. The gifts of
children. The ministries and friendships... God, do you ever wonder,
"Should I have picked someone wiser?"
My
eyes brim with tears as I consider His grace, my mistakes, His love, my
inadequacies, His strength, my weakness, His Spirit...
And
then the very next song... Strange way to save the world... "Why her?
She's such an ordinary girl."
Chest
tightens. I set down the towel. Tears flow.
Lord,
I feel so ordinary. So inadequate. So simple.
I
thank you for choosing the simple. The broken. The plain. The unwise. The
messy.
Oh
come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.
STOP
