Lunch at McDonalds'play place is not typically on the schedule. Even when my children were the right age it was too chaotic. Today was an exception. The kids played and fought as kids do, the sun was shining, and the chaos felt good. When the littlest said it was time to sleep and the others decided that girl was too mean we knew it was time to leave. Wouldn't it be great to always make decisions so easily! In the car the littlest was encouraged to stay awake with chatter from her cousin and the two oldest discussed their troubles. Maybe it was the mean girl or maybe it was the snow mounds but one was insisting that God is bigger than that. He's taller and stronger and better than everything. Just was easily as it started the conversation moved on. It was a simple conclusion.
The kids reminded me today: When I am afraid, God is bigger. When there is a mean girl or too much of something God is bigger then, too. When I am sick or in pain he is still bigger. It is easy to move on when you know.
I'm not sure what that looks like in my current situation but it may be getting past pain and disability to do things I love. Fiddling is gone because my hand is so bad but maybe I can devise a new way to play guitar instead. I doubt I can do much needlework but I can sew on the machine even though I need help. The day will come when I can't do any of it, I know, but in the meantime I want to turn my mind that way. Remember how easy it is to move on when you know: God is bigger.
