Fall-Owing

My youngest child owes Connie and I some money (not much new about children owing parents cash, is there?) One of the ways that we are having him pay us back is by reading some books. I look at it as a great opportunity to build into his life, which, in my opinion, is way more important than money. I can see that he is enjoying a couple of the books so far and they are at least making him think. I wish that I had done similar things when I was younger and perhaps I wouldn’t still fail so much of the time. I know that I have to walk my own path, I just wish that less of my following Jesus was a stumbling, bumbling mess.

When I pause to consider the love of God in my life I am in awe and it helps me to take a few more steps along the way. And maybe in my fall-owing Jesus I get to walk with a few of you for a time and you in turn get to walk with someone else, showing them Jesus as His brilliance is displayed through your failings, your cracks and your shortcomings. Paul once said that he would only brag about the cross of Jesus, because not much else mattered when compared to its glory.

So stumble along my friends, the glory of the cross will light your way breaking through your weakness.
