To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints:
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 1:7
A break, it’s all I need… Just a simple break from
everything, everyone and sadly enough sometimes the break is from the
word. The very place I know I need to
be, I run from.
I am that mom who has earned many “mother of the year
awards” from forgetting to send in the beach towel for beach day, not
remembering that there is a field trip, not noticing that they don’t have a
coat on when it’s negative 5 degrees outside… However, my latest award winning
ceremony occurred just recently when I was supposed to have my 8 year old at
school for her first day of summer reading camp and I get a call from the
principal. You guessed it, I forgot, I
actually had forgotten I even signed her up.
My precious little girl looks me in the eyes and says, “It’s
okay mommy, we all forget things sometimes. I just know I will forget something
soon, too.” The grace she showed me that
morning as we rushed around the house to get to school was so heartfelt and
sincere.
My eyes filled with
tears knowing that this is how God loves us. He gently reminds us that He still
loves us even when we forget Him or take a break from His word. I don’t know why taking a break from His word
seems to be so easy, but I do know that even though I sometimes end up taking that break, He
hasn’t taken a break from me and He never will! He will wait for me full of
grace ready to love on me in ways only He can.
