Momma and I sat in domestic silence while soaking up a warm Saturday morning sun. She worked alongside me, crocheting a hat as I picked out the colors for my next square. I paused in my progress to give Momma her next mini-lesson. Showing her how to do a back post double crochet, her hook felt thick in my hands after 100 squares with my smaller one. When I picked my square back up, I kept an eye on her first few stitches to make sure they were correct.
In addition to helping Momma on her new projects, I've had two friends ask me to teach them the basics of crocheting recently, and I love having the opportunity to share my knowledge about a subject I enjoy. I feel convicted when I ask myself, how willing am I to share my knowledge of Christ? This knowledge is even more important and precious, and the Gospel is not meant to be kept to myself; it is meant to be taught and passed on.
Mark 16:15 "He [Jesus] said to them, 'Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.'"
So although my thoughts were scattered and my prayers somewhat distracted as I jumped between working on my own square and helping Momma, I managed to pray, Lord, help me to take the opportunities to preach Christ.
