One day I was heading for a much deserved soak, and was filling the tub. Scarlet (4) popped in my bedroom to tattletale on someone ask a question. She stopped talking and stared into my bathroom.
"Mommy, are you going to take a bubble bath?"
"Are you going to use MY bubbles?"
"Well, I was going to, yes. Is that alright?"
"Um. Yes. You can use my bubble bath, but I really don't want you to play with my toys."
Of course, I held the laughter just until the door closed!
I got in that hot, bubbly tub and thought about what she had said. It occured to me that I have said that very thing to my Parent often.
How many times have I told My Father, "Yes, you can use my this, but I really don't want you to play with my that."
Have you ever said, "You can have my time, but I really don't want you to play with my money." Or, "You can have my Sunday morning, but I really don't want you to play with my Tuesday afternoon." Or, "You can have my job, but I really don't want you to play with my marriage."
Just say it with me: Ouch! Hallelujah!
Today, I'm inviting Him to play with ALL my toys...every last one! Why don't you join me?
