JACQUI’S MEDITATION
Spare Pegs
We booked a holiday home for our recent trip up north. At the time of booking, we were advised that we had to provide our own tea towels and cleaning products. After enjoying our first week there I went to hang out a load of washing. There were several cupboards in the laundry – above the washing machine as well as beside it. I looked everywhere for pegs, but there were none. (Bit unreasonable don’t you think?) I went and bought a couple of dozen pegs which, when all is said and done is no big deal. After we had been at the house for 2 weeks or so, I noticed a floor to ceiling cupboard on the wall opposite the washing machine that I hadn’t seen before. Sure enough, in that cupboard was a basket of pegs.
How did I miss that cupboard in my original look – good question with no answer. Not everything that we are looking for is right in our faces but that does not mean they are not there. So, next time I am finding it hard to see God, I know exactly what the solution is – keep looking! Seek and ye shall find. (And be rewarded with much more than a basket of pegs.)
Heavenly Father you have promised to always be with us. Help us to keep our eyes and hearts open so that we are blessed with seeing you. Amen.
