Some of you know where you’re going. You know, north, south, east, and west. You know what you want to do tomorrow and for months in advance. You have everything in place. But what will you do if life includes the wrong exit on the path of life? What if you get lost?
I had lunch with a homeless friend Saturday in the wonderful breeze of hope and yes, in the real gusts that sent our napkins flying. We laughed together and rejoiced in our friendship, and my friend shared her joy at some possibilities and opened doors too. And we then prayed over Sonic drinks and chicken and guidance from the Lord..
Several years ago, I stood with an inmate during an event at a prison—and this man is one I’d gotten to know during several such gatherings. I’d not ever asked or pried about what brought him to prison. But on that day, he shared his heart with me. “I’m in here for a long time.”
This week’s message is for all of you out there who are dealing with or have ever had to deal with the day-to-day activities, ramblings, utterances and escapades of a toddler. If you are one of the group that is now in the middle of those days, let me start by saying that I am praying for you. Let me add that anyone that might be reading this, please lift up a prayer towards Heaven for all of those who are currently trying to “bring up a child in the way they should go” and trying to raise toddler children.
