One of my reactions after watching the attached video -
Shame on me...
Shame on many of us...
We're always waiting for the perfect conditions, perfect homes, perfect everything to start living...
The contentment of this woman truly encourages us to be grateful for what we have & don't have...
When friends and family want to visit us, we say our homes are not big enough... Here's a woman content with the space and location God has given her and can invite friends into her 'lounge' to 'chill'...
"Oh... If only I had a bit more space...if only we had 3 rooms... If only our car was bigger... If only our water-heater was automatic... If only we had a bigger bathroom... If only our kitchen had an air-conditioner..." The list is endless and doesn't only apply to where we live but to many other areas of our lives.
Shame on me. I haven't shared anything on this blog in a long while because I've been waiting for perfection. There's a lot I've written in my journal - worth sharing... But I've been waiting for a perfect date/day, a perfect picture to add to the post, some poetic corrections to make, etc. This lady has woken me up and I pray I stay awake. She beautifully invites us into her home just as it is and this video has blessed many so far. We never know what God will do with the little we offer to Him... Ours is to share our lives, invite people into our lives to 'come and see'...
So.. What is God calling you to do in this season of your life? Or...perhaps as in my case, what did you start that you need to continue? It's never too small and never too late. May we do our part.... Amen. "Oh may it all our powers engage to do our Master's will"
