I Don't Want to be All Wet

I made a pledge to pay more attention to the Words than the waves.

In the book of Matthew and the story of Jesus walking on the water, Peter wants to walk on the water, too. Jesus simply says, "Come." Peter, with no effort, walks on the water. When he obeys Jesus' commandment, Peter simply, but miraculously, walks on water, but when he gives his attention to the wind, waves and storm, Peter sinks.

Through this very difficult time with my children, I want to pay more attention to Jesus' Words than the waves of the storm. I want the miracle of restoration, the simplicity of obedience. I want the unity of the relationship of family.

It is easier said than done.
