....No, this has nothing to do with basketball. It does however have to do when the "ball is in my court". Let me explain.....
One of my favorite blogs is Deep Roots at Home. Jacqueline is such a blessing. I have met and talked with her at the home school convention we have attended in the recent years. You feel like you have shared an afternoon and a cup of tea with her after talking for only a few minutes.
While reading Jacqueline's blog today, her post from February 27 was amazing. I have read the short story she has posted some time ago. It brought back to mind what I need to do when "the ball is in my court".
You see, the last several months plus have been weary. We have had some major set backs. Set backs that only God could take care of for us. Most were never mentioned outside the family. Some we needed direction and we asked questions. A couple were shared only with someone close; one shared as a prayer request. ALL taken to the throne of grace. God has answered some in a mighty way. In a way He only could. I call those, ''all of God and none of me" answers. You may know the kind, ones where it take a miracle.
When the weary days come, where do I find myself? Oh, I trust God, knowing He knows our need and when it needs to be taken care of. But what about me to my husband or children? Am I a joy or an encourager? Have I lightened the daily load? Sadly to say, more times than not, I am not the joy, encourager, or load lifter.
If you have not already "clicked" over to Deep Roots at Home, why not do it now? I know you will come away blessed!
