"For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised." Hebrews 10:36
Sophie wanted to check out a new book, but she couldn't. First graders can only have one library book at a time and hers had been missing for 2 weeks. I reminded Sophie until her old book was found and returned or paid for, she couldn't get a new one. With a confident smile she assured me she had a plan and shared it... she was trying to pull a tooth to get money to pay for the lost book. Yikes! not the solution i expected or wanted.
Like Sophie my choices are not always the best, when following rules. A quick fix might work but at what cost? Father, give me the endurance to examine all options when faced with a problem. The wisest option might require more work or time but deliver a more satisfying and rewarding outcome.
we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live, love and do like we believe it,
