My Burden is Light

I was struck this morning by the image of what a laborer in the harvest field does. It's not really much of the job you know. God does all the work of taking the seed that was planted and making it into a blade of grass. Taking that blade of grass and causing it to develop into a head of wheat. Then taking that head of wheat and developing it into mature grain. We just have to watch for the time to bring it in.

Leaning on God for Small Things

I find that leaning on God or praying to him during the big things is easy. I have been learning lately that he is just as interested in the small things in my life. I have felt such a closeness because of this lesson being taught to me by God.

One example that comes quickly to mind is that we are teaching our youngest to go to bed by himself. I didn't want to leave this in the lord's hands since it is such a small thing. Last night as I listened to my little one tell me how he didn't like this new rule I quickly prayed for the lords guidance, the lord quickly told me to leave it in his hands. I left my little one's room and he stayed in there all night and all I could here was him singing sunday school songs.
