reading
This is my happy place. When things get overwhelming for one of the littles in my family, I take them to a quiet corner and read them a book. It carries us both out of whatever is happening into the world of Frog and Toad, or Little Bear, or Grandad and his boy.
It took me a long time to cross the chasm from reading because I had to, to reading because it soothed my soul. I think it was because I wasn’t good at it and people kept shoving reading assignments into my hands. When I got out of college, I abandoned reading indefinitely. But when I found the joy of it by the gentle nudges of the Holy Spirit, I discovered a whole new dimension of this life.
This summer God has gifted me the great honor of teaching my Sunday school class, in order to give our great leaders a soul rest. Because of the nature of the summer study, I have the opportunity to read one of my most treasured books to the girls I have grown to love so dearly.
If you would like to join us, even for one week as a guest, I would like to invite you to come. Send me a message and I’ll help you get there.
“My son, eat honey, for it is good, Yes, the honey from the comb is sweet to your taste; Know that wisdom is thus for your soul; If you find it, then there will be a future, And your hope will not be cut off.”
Proverbs 24:13-14 NASB1995
Oh I love that you are teaching your class. You have such a gift and I know you are doing kingdom work.
