You know that smell of burnt popcorn in the microwave? Worst smell ever, right? Wrong! Hi, I’m Lysa TerKeurst with Proverbs 31 Ministries.
A biscuit wrapped in foil cooked until the inside of the microwave literally melts away- that’s the worst smell ever!
The melted-microwave-chargrilled-biscuit smell was the result of my son deciding his biscuit should cook for a good long time.
Two thoughts started battling for what would happen next. Thought number one: Pitch a justifiable hissy fit. Thought number two: Remember you need grace so you should give grace.
I felt like reacting out of thought number 1. But, somehow, I made the conscious choice to let thought number 2 reign me in.
My son learned how difficult it is to rid a house of horrific smells and I learned I actually do have the capacity and the ability to pause and allow space for grace in my heart. For more visit Proverbs 31 Ministries at Proverbs31.org.
