Take the time

My mother tells the story. Her dad was going blind. So every morning she or her sister would stop by the home where he stayed. And read the Bible to him. 

One particular day, Mom was in a hurry. On a tight schedule. She rushed in with no time to spare. Out of breath and talking fast. “So, Daddy, which chapter do you want me to read today?”

In his slow Southern drawl, Grandaddy said “Well, how about Psalm 119?” 

Me perched between my two grandfathers. Waxing eloquent, I’m sure.

Take up His yoke

The challenge given to us that day was purposeful. Powerful. 

To stay in the Word like our lives depend on it. Because they do. And to speak the Word like their lives depend on it. Because they do. 

We caught the urgency. To share with the millions. And with the neighbor across the street.
