Shine Again: Home is where the daddy is

Home is where the daddy is

We decided to tag along with Sean on his recent work week in Chicago. Six days away is just too long for all of us to be separated. Sean drove up early in the morning to teach and we planned to meet him for dinner. As we were pulling up to the hotel we saw him walking along the side of the road waiting to jump in the van.

After several hours in the van it was a welcomed sight. John was thrilled and unexpectedly announced, "Daddy's home!!!"

Of course, we couldn't visit Chicago without introducing the kids to Chicago style pizza. It was so filling there was actually leftovers. I think I'm going to try to recreate this one in our own kitchen- deep dish, cheese on the bottom, sauce on top.

"...continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose. Do everything without complain- ing or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life—in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing...." Philippians 2:12b-16

I often want to be the one to do big things for God. This verse reminds me that it is in doing the small things well and without complaining that I can be most useful to Him. So when I'm taking care of the sick and sweeping up the floor again and just got sauce on my only white shirt and somehow managed to drop a box of crayons down the dryer vent and my friend is hurting and my child is frustrated with school and I really don't feel like I can answer one more question.... I remember that this is my time to SHINE AGAIN.
