A Picture Of Him
August 23, 2012
One day my son uncapped an orange marker and drew a picture of his father. His toddlers rendering featured eyes, a nose, and a mouth, all inside of a circle on top of two long sticks (he informed me that those were the legs). Although my little boy scored high marks for effort, his picture didnt quite capture the specifics that would have created a close likeness to my husband: blue eyes, a confident smile, and silver-flecked hair.
As Gods children, we sometimes create images of our heavenly Father that arent accurate. We may view God as unloving when He corrects sinful patterns in our lives. And because discipline is painful (Heb. 12:11), we may assume that Gods correction is a form of divine revenge or the result of His anger. In reality, it is proof of His love for us. The Bible says, Whom the Lord loves He chastens (v.6). He disciplines us for our benefit, so that we may be partakers of His holiness (v.10) and experience the peace that comes from right living (v.11).
Today, if you are facing Gods discipline, remember that He isnt peering down at you with an angry scowl or shaking a vengeful fist. Picture Him as a concerned Father, lovingly correcting His child in whom He delights (Prov. 3:12).
Lord, when I sin and You discipline me,
help me to see its Your love in action. May Your loving
discipline mold and shape my character
so that I become more and more like You. Amen.
Gods hand of discipline is a hand of love.
Read: Hebrews 12:3-11

Aloha again Night Owl! ((HUGS))
Not much going on today but did see my son yesterday and he left his crutches in my Jeep, safely tucked next to my umbrella. It turned out to be a sunny day so I wasn't needing the umbrella and he doesn't seem to have had a need for his crutches.
Tied to your desk, huh? Get one of these
and keep it with you at all times.

Hurrah for your sun! And it must be good that your son is not relying on his crutches. Hope he didn’t break anything.
That looks like it would handle the problem.
