Make God a part of everything you do.
How do we do that? I’m learning as I go. I have friends who are great examples of this. I’ll share some things that I’ve seen them do.
I arrive back on the scene with my kids and Benjamin. We all run into the house so that I can apologize for the 53rd time because I feel so bad for causing all of this (it really was that they had just bought a new door and it had a weird lock or something that they weren’t used to, but I still felt really bad). Susan already had Audrey calmed down, mostly because they had been talking through the window very loudly while I was gone tracking down Don.
I’m all ready to start discussing what had happened and again how bad I felt about it, when I see Susan has the kids gathered around her (she didn’t even have all the goose bumps under control yet for being outside in December for 15 minutes in short sleeves). She then launches into a spiritual application of what just happened- being locked out. She talks to the kids about having hearts that are locked and won’t let Jesus in and how we have to open up our hearts with the right key so that He can be a part of our lives. Wow. She’s good.
A few months later, I saw her do it again (not the getting locked out of her house part, the making a spiritual application part).
