The Word of the Day: Ordinary
My Disclaimer: I struggled with today's post! The thoughts that swirled in my mind didn't come out very easily. And finding 5 uninterrupted minutes has been much harder than it should be today....but that's just an 'ordinary' day around here. :)
Ordinary
Ordinary is in the eye of the beholder. And
when one looks through the lens of the gospel, is there really such a thing as
ordinary?
She was an ordinary girl with an ordinary pregnancy birthed
the King.
His 2 hands, ordinary and worn from the work of a carpenter,
were pierced for our transgressions.
It was an ordinary tomb, with an ordinary rock, that was
rolled away to reveal an ordinary empty room.
This living room painted an ordinary beige has held laughter
and love within its walls. On its
stained carpets have I have sat with girls and sought His face through his Word
and prayer.
My days full of ordinary tasks of laundry, cooking,
cleaning, parenting are days full of moments for teaching, for seeing his
glory, his faithfulness.
Because of the Gospel all the ordinary is simply
extraordinary in Him.
I agree- it is in the eye of the beholder that ordinary turns extraordinary! Visiting from Lisajo- and also a mama to 3 lively girls! Happy friday!
ReplyDeleteI love this! Thinking about the ordinary in our lives and how Jesus takes ordinary and creates beauty and miracles. Things don't start out extraordinary. Something has to happen to them that sets them apart. Thankful Jesus has done this for us! We are all extraordinary because of Him.
