October 18, 2021 Finding Balance Gwen Smith Today's Truth But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well (Matthew 6:33 NIV). Friend to Friend When I was a little girl, one of my favorite things to do was to twirl in the grass. With arms outstretched, I'd spin around and around until I was silly-dizzy, and then fall to the ground with a giggly heart. It was thrilling, invigorating and a fun, simple way to spend a lazy summer day in the rolling hills of southwestern Pennsylvania. Now that I'm older, I can't handle spinning in circles. My body rejects any twisty endeavor. Nausea quickly sets in and reminds me that I'm not a young "spinny-girl" anymore. Several years ago, while my family and I were at an amusement park, in an effort to gain favor in the eyes of my kids and earn imaginary super mom points I enthusiastically got on a ride that spun in circles. My hero-husband always goes on this type of ride with our children, so I thought, If Brad can do it, then I can do it, right? |
