Much yuckier than that.
Yesterday was a "good" day. A day of happy children that awoke on their own accord and actually dressed before coming downstairs. The laundry was folded AND put away. Dinner was somewhat edible. It was a day of plans and productivity. A crossing-off-the-list kind of day.
Yesterday was also a day of prayer. I talked to the Lord about my new schedule, the kids' teachers, my hubby's job. I thanked him for the blessing of things and health. I praised him for the ability to talk with him during the day.
That's where it ends.
Yesterday was not a day of working for the Kingdom outside my circle of people. It was not the day I noticed someone at the check-out line that could have appreciated a smile. It really wasn't the day where I looked up and saw the who and the what God placed in my path. It was not the day I listened and shared about the Glorious One.
I missed opportunities to tell someone, anyone about the Counselor I had prayed with during the day. I blinked and a chance to offer comfort from the One who comforts me passed me on by. I was so busy going about my good things I may have missed the best thing.
Sharing Him.
It's our commission, right? To tell others of His saving grace? To impress upon those who don't know Him but need Him? It's our beautiful feet He will use to spread the news of God's gift to us.
We just gotta make our beautiful feet available. And aware. I don't think that necessarily means we approach every person in Target and attempt to show them the Roman Road. And it probably doesn't mean we have to stand behind the pulpit or on a street corner. Or write life-changing books. Or sell all of our possessions and pack it up for the life of missionaries.
Those are all really amazing things. God-given things that have eternal impact.
But we can have impact right where we are among the people God has placed us. We can lend a hand, offer a word of comfort, bring a meal, tend to orphans and widows. We can pray for lost souls-those we know and those unknown to us.
We just have to be available and aware.
So today and tomorrow and the next day after that, will be a do-over kind of day. God will continue to give me opportunities to grow His Kingdom in my normal, SAHM life. He will purposefully place in my path people He is calling. He will give me a chance today and forevermore to work for Him.
And every single day I am granted a do-over. Hallelujah!
Here's to making the most of tomorrow for Him.
