Trash

Thursday 

I like to keep these blog posts fresh and authentic.  I like to post when I really have something that I want to say.  That moment didn't happen this morning but it happened today when I was setting up and making a mock up craft in class.  A very helpful and polite child was early (as always) and as I was cutting off the ends of cellophane he grabbed it and said , "I want, I want!" I explained that it's rubbish plus I didn't want it to spread around my class.  He continued repeating "I want, I want!"  It was so loud and clear that to draw the parallels to something scriptural or symbolic was so obvious for me. 

God says "I want all your junk.  Lay it at my feet.  I want it.  I want it.  Don't carry it!  Don't try sort it out.  Just give it to me."

Simple. 

May we give God our mess and leave it with him.  Not going back to it time and time again. 

Love, 

Phoenix and Sarah
