Breakfast in Bed by Steve Higginbotham June 17, 2007 | ||

This past week was Bible camp
us. For the past fourteen years, I've spend a week of the Summer
serving as a counselor and teacher at Taylor Christian
Camp. Each morning during the devotional period, I tried to
impress one thought upon the young people, and that thought was "Jesus
went about doing good" (Acts 10:38). Each morning, I would remind
the young people that Jesus went about doing good and challenge them to go
do likewise.
By Wednesday night, my little
seven-year-old girl got homesick for her mama. So we gathered up her
things and I drove home at midnight. Bright and early the next
morning, I was awakened by the noise of my bedroom door opening.
What I saw was my little girl walking gingerly with all her concentration
upon two bowls of Cheerios which she held in each hand.
Anne Marie had decided not only to make me breakfast in bed, but also her
older sister down the hall.
After I ate her Cheerios, she climbed up in
bed next to me and I asked her what made her think to do something like
that. Her response was, "Daddy, you've been telling us all week that
Jesus went about doing good, and I want to be like Jesus."
Friends, I may someday dine in some
swanky restaurant that serves only the best foods, prepared by a great
chef, but I'll never have a better breakfast than the bowl of Cheerios my
daughter served me this week.
Jesus went about doing good (Acts
10:38). What about you? | ||
