Teachable Moments

Last night I attended a Women in His Presence event.  It was full of amazing worship and sharing by some pretty fabulous women.  Kourtney (one of my most precious and lifelong best friends) shared of God's grace in using her in ministry and she said something that really spoke to my heart.  I've heard it so many times before but you know how sometimes you just hear it clearer than others.  She reminded me that your ministry can be to your husband or to your children.  You don't have to lead a bible study or teach high schoolers.  Your ministry starts right in your own kitchen.  There was another gal that spoke.  She has 7 children!!  They range in age from 7-22 years old.  She said something else that just seem to bury itself right in my heart.  Look for those moments that are teachable ones.  They are there but they come and go quickly.  Put down your cell phone/work emails, get off of Facebook, and spend time being with my children.  It's ok to be busy but be busy building HIS kingdom. 

This is all stuff I have heard some many times but a nice little reminder is always good!

Deuternomy 6:7-9
Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. ⁸ Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. ⁹ Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.
