Sometimes I will end the day with thoughts that are
important to get out. Usually I just
write them and put them in my journal folder.
I have chosen that on occasion I will share them with you Dear Reader.
I was privileged to spend some time with my Son, my Daughter-in-Law,
and my Grandsons tonight. At one point my
eldest Grandson (3) was sharing markers with the younger Grandson (1 ½) as they were drawing pictures. The eldest wanted to use one of the markers
that the younger had in his hand. He tried to trade with his brother but the
child refused.
When his mom suggested that he wait the elder brother did
just that. I have a thing I do with him
when he does something very good. I give
him a “Time In”. I called him over to me
and gave him a big hug and thanked him for listening to him mum and being good
to his brother. He responded by being
even kinder to his brother.
You could see in his heart the delight in being honored for
doing well. I found that I was silently
praying that he never loses that feeling. How much do we need to be reminded
that when we do well our Father in heaven sees it and delights in us? I know that sometimes I become weary of
choosing to do what is right.
I find that sometimes I feel that others do not see the good
I do then I am reminded that the love of the Father for what I do is
enough. It is enough to know that he is
pleased. I must learn to live every
moment knowing that the joy in my Father’s heart is enough.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store."
