God's Pursuit of Me,  HomeLife

the silver lining we get to choose to be

 

I stubbed my toe on a wooden baseball bat.  A baseball bat most decidedly NOT placed in its proper home.

It hurt, but I wasn’t angry about it.

The Stuff of Childhood isn’t so annoying.

I am a Changed Human.

My daughter says that the silver lining in all this mess is me.

I’m her Silver Lining.

I don’t know how long I get to be seen like that by my daughter.

So today I celebrate that.

Today my heart rejoices and I decide that Grateful is my choice.

    I’m with your daughter. I see so much beauty and joy radiating from and through you. I see God shining so brightly. I would do anything in the world to take away the Pain and the Hard and the Ugly. I wish you didn’t have that plate in your life right now. But I love your honesty and real-ness and I love the Joy and Gratefulness that God is giving you.
