Have you ever discovered an email you thought you sent, but didn’t? Have you ever committed to an important meeting and realized too late that you didn’t show up? How about that load of laundry still in the washer that never made it to the dryer? Ever ruined a loaf of bread because a distraction messed with your mind and that last cup of flour never made it into the dough? These things happen because of distractions. Our busy lives are filled with distractions, making it hard to focus.

“Family Stories for God’s Glory” tells the story of our young granddaughter who knew how to focus. During our family vacation, Nikki made a molded handprint to take home as a memento of her time at the beach. Stirring the stiff mixture of cement caused blisters to form. Her cousins played nearby making lots of happy noises. They fell on deaf ears as Nikki continued to keep her focus on her work. Nothing was able to snatch her attention or distract her from her project.

Our Heavenly Father would be pleased if we learned from Nikki how to focus. Make time to focus on your loving Savior. Let nothing superceed your enjoyment of spending time with Him.

Blessings on your days,

Charlotte
