Today I was thinking about a devotion we did the other week. I'm not sure where the question came from but one of the kids was trying to understand the idea of God being the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. I knew this was something I wanted to talk about at some point, but wanted to figure out just the right way to explain it. So when this question was asked, I needed to come up with something quick!
Next to me, sat my water bottle...and God just gave me the idea to use that as an example. So I explained to the kids that this was one water bottle, but it was made up of 3 parts...the bottle itself, the cap, and the water inside. Since most of them are so young, I'm not sure if they completely understood, but I was just so excited that in that moment, God had given me an illustration to use! I'm just praying that God will bring that to their minds again sometime!
So, this morning as I thought about this, and how neat God works at times, I was reminded of Lisa and something she once told me that has always stuck with me. She told me, "God doesn't call the equipped, He equips the called." That is something I will never forget...because there are certainly some days when I feel less than adequate. I love that God puts people in our lives that point us to Him...and that's just what Lisa did for me...her words still do that today...and for that I am so thankful.
