I get annoyed sometimes with Savannah because she often forgets her glasses. Sometimes, I wish I could just record and play back to her each morning...."do you have your glasses?"...."where did you put them last?" She's at camp this week, so I can have a break from that question for now :)
I took Danielle to her annual physical yesterday in between Princess Camp and working at the Parma Church and they needed to check her vision....so they brought in the eye chart with all the letters.
In all my errands to find treasures for the Parma Church I got thinking about that eye chart and, actually, my own vision....how I see things. AND, I realized there are many days that I forget my glasses! I forget to see the things I am doing as a privilege to serve GOD....I forget that there is a lot more in getting the Parma Church going than paint and pretties....because GOD cares more about the PEOPLE than any of that other stuff...It comes down to a question of whether I am wearing glasses that see what I am doing as a FAVOR for GOD or as a GIFT from GOD....it really is an honor to be given a job by GOD. Anyway, it is good to have a vision check every once in a while :)
I am thrilled, by the way, with how the work at the Parma Church is going....the sanctuary really looks amazing and the other rooms and kitchen are coming along too....it is hard to believe we have only been working on it for two days (it feels longer :) BUT, I pray it will become a place of worship, healing, salvation, and encouragement for those who visit and choose to make this sweet little church and, really the people, their church family...because God is in it!
