I was feeling down- Then the Lord met me at the library
I took my kids to the library to pick up some new books. We went to play with the large chess set. I started asking Ruby (5) to arrange the pieces properly. One, to remind myself that I do know how to arrange a chess board and two so she could learn how.
An unassuming woman in a nearby chair said, “I never learned how to play.” I thought, well it’s been at least 20 years since I played with someone but I’m sure I should share a few of the practical ways of playing. So I shared about how the pawns and the rooks move. I said when the rook makes it to the opponents side of the board they get flipped upside down and become a king. She said, “oh my goodness and he isn’t even royalty and becomes King!” She was fascinated by the process.
I’m not clear on the transition but we started talking about how God has been present in her life since she was a child and she has a fascinating story. Her name is Shekiva.
She reminded me that I am not forgotten by God. That even when unfortunate things happen to us, just like when they occurred to the prophets, they were faithful and walked along side of God as these things happened to them. It filled my heart with so much joy to know that the Holy Spirit would come and meet me where I am to show me his goodness and his mercy on my life.
