The day after Mother's day. I still haven't quite recovered from yesterday. It isn't that it went badly. In fact, it went amazingly well. We did almost the same amount of sales as the Langley store did last year, and we are 1/3 the size. And the kitchen pumped out the food like nobody's business. I mean nobody's.
It was EPIC. (yes, worth the capitals)
Alas, today begins a new week. A week full of it's own tasks and challenges, important and urgent things to be done.
Tonight I was reading this out of the book of 1 Samuel. What really struck me as special was the fact that God kept calling to Samuel, even though Samuel didn't know it was Him calling. What makes it stand out is this:
"Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD : The word of the LORD had not yet been revealed to him."
Instead of getting angry, or giving up, God patiently calls until he finally Samuel figures out that it's God.
The fact that God loves us enough to just keep calling, keep inviting us in to his life, even when we are completely oblivious to it gives so much hope for us all. There is a popular christian song out right now and in the chorus there is a line that asks the question "Is there hope for every man?"
Absolutely.
