who doesn’t love a good STORY

by Karmen |

it’s “Five Minute Friday” —Lisa-Jo Baker’s prompt for today:

STORY:

maybe it’s the teacher in me

or maybe it’s the mother

but even before I knew either of those roles

I’ve always been a passionate story teller

as a child, I told B-I-G, imaginative stories

as a teen, I told falsehoods. lots of them

there has always been “just one more”  story

this morning the story isn’t mine to tell, it’s Tucker’s

he accepted Christ as his Savior last night

& his story has just begun

as I lay awake this morning I was thinking of all of the things that God may choose to do with his little life

will Tucker be bold and courageous?

will he share his story?

will he have a heart for missions? the poor? the sick?

will he have a strong desire for discipleship? teaching? pastoring? serving?

I don’t know

only God know the next page of his story

and mine

and like numbers

our story

never ends

even after death

what stories will be told about you? about me? about my little Tucker?

after we’re gone

will our stories encourage??

inspire??

I sure hope so.

dont’ you?
