SABRINA
I was recently taking Weston, our 3 year old grandson to daycare one morning when I looked down at his face before getting him down from the table. He had breakfast burritos stuck in his hair and sticky apple juice on his chin. Thankful I caught it, I quickly cleaned the sweet face, grabbed my purse and work, and headed out the door. As I am about to buckle him in, I look at the sweet face, with green sticky residue all over it? It would be from his favorite “green skittle candy” I was unaware he had grabbed out of the candy jar. A wet wipe and he is good to go!
We get to daycare and as I unbuckle him I look- he has sneezed – you know THAT story! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO WIPE THAT SWEET FACE??? It then occurred to me, God does the SAME thing with me! We are reminded in Matthew Chapter 11, verse 28, “Come to me all who are weary, struggling, messy, and I will give you rest, comfort you, and clean you up!”
If this morning finds you saying to your children, spouse, siblings, co-workers – “HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS??? Remember, God does the same for us, over, and over, and over again! Thank you God that you wipe us off, clean us up, and send us off, only for us to come back and you do the same thing all over again! May WE have more patience in our own lives with those around us who seem to mess up over and over and over again!
