SLOSHY FOOTPRINTS
Matthew 5:16 “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glority your Father which is in heaven.”
Several Christmases ago, my in-laws gave the kids a playhouse. They pulled up, in the yard, with a truckload of lumber and said, “Where do you want it?”
I said, “Uhh…uhh…I think over there would be a nice spot.” Well, in my “over there” moment, I failed to remember that the water faucet is also “over there.”
My kids love it. They can dig ponds and fill them with water. They build sand castles outside the sandboxj and spray them down with the water hose. However, when the kids take a break from playing and come inside, they track sandy, sloshy footprints through the house.
When I look at those sloshy footprints on the tloor, I remind myself of God’s wonderful love. God’s love overflowing in us should spill out onto others. As Christians we can also leave footprints, not so others may follow us, but so they can find God.
