It’s school time again! The running, yelling and pushing abounds on the playgrounds and the classrooms. I was a quiet kid, so I can imagine wanting a little bit of that quiet reflection. Heaven knows I certainly did a lot of praying in school.
“Dear God, please let their be something new for lunch. Please let their be a place for me at kickball. And Please help that one girl not to have cooties!”
Caption reads, “Sunday school was great, Dad. James agreed to go out with me when I’m old enough to date!”
I often wonder what my kids are learning when I’m teaching a Sunday school class. Probably more than I want to know. Hopefully they learn an eternal lesson that will change their lives forever-for the better.
As I’m trying this blog thing, I keep reminding myself to watch my tongue. As Paul said,
“Everything is permissible for me”—but not everything is beneficial.” 1 Corinthians 6:12
Yes, I just need to give my anxieties to God today. Do you ever have those days where there are too many things going around in your head and you just want to toss all the to-do lists and filled calendars out the window? Well, that’s the way with me today. I just need to practice what I doodle. God, you can have them today! I just need to be sure I don’t fill up my to-do’s after I give Him the old list!
I’m glad there are multiple remedies to anxiety. In today’s world, it comes in handy to have a few solutions in your arsenal.
For me, 1 Peter 5:7 is a great solution.
