Found in this Moment
Today I had the pleasure of curling up on the couch beside Max and helping him work through Green Eggs and Ham and Red Fish Blue Fish Old Fish New Fish. It is extremely therapeutic for me to read with Max for an hour every afternoon. In this crazy life it's easy to get lost in the assignments and the pressures, so I'm thankful that God opened this door of opportunity. I find myself getting so excited over each word and when we finish a page I am filled with a sense of sincere accomplishment. Life is full of little victories. Jesus likes to give us little victories so that we don't grow weary. Tutoring my little 2nd grader puts life in perspective. It is good for me to remember that there was a time when it took me several minutes to get through a page in a book. I had to sound out each letter and then struggle to put them together. It is good for me to stop and thank God for the progress I have made in education. It is easy to forget what life was like ten+ years ago. We shouldn't forget, because God wants us to remember who He is, and one of the most powerful ways that He reveals Himself to us personally is by bringing us through trials. It has gotten to the point where I take for granted the fact that I can read, but there was time when it was extremely challenging for me. I need to remember the struggle so that my heart is filled with thanksgiving for my great Savior.The point of this small post is to remind you to think about the little victories that Christ grants us. Rejoice in the moments, for that is how we live a life glorifying God and enjoying Him. Don't think that something has to change in order for you to rejoice. This is the day the Lord has made. We have the opportunity to praise His name through our thoughts, words, and deeds. May He give us the strength to live for Him forever.
