Earlier today I almost blogged a picture of my kids with a "For Rent" sign on them...
We all were in need of much grace. Thankfully I know the ultimate Grace-Giver. He had much to give today. Tomorrow has GOT to be quieter...it has to be uphill from where we were!
However, in the midst of their noise and my impatience, I was grateful to see some significant efforts on the part of my Mackenzie today to be a helper. He made me coffee...TWICE. He weeded a very weed-y garden (of course, his Dad had promised him a sizeable reward, but, regardless...) He even picked up cat poop without me asking him to. And he made his sister breakfast.
Those are little big things which I don't take lightly. The Lord was working in Mackenzie's mind and heart today to show love by serving, and I'm glad that the Lord helped me look outside of my selfish, want-to-run-away mindset to see it. And in the midst of chaos, I was very thankful.
I love it when God invades my littleness with His bigness.

Love you my friend! Sorry you had a yucky day. I TOTALLLLLLLY GET IT!!! Glad to hear of the Lord's reminders. He seems to be handing out a lot of those lately!
Amen. So sweet to hear of what God is doing in Kenzie. Can't wait to come home and meet the new him ;) Can't wait to share in the littleness of life with you and watch God move in Bigness every day in the details of Rhyno House living!
I'm so glad that Abba touched your MacKenzie's heart and in turn reminded you of just how awesome our Father is... Thanks for sharing this story...I too need those reminders that He is bigger ...sometimes we get so sucked up in life and all the yucky-ness...we take our eye's off Him and put them on our circumstances... how often that happens in my life.
