unexpected…

The unexpected… reveals unexpected transformation in me…

Arriving home to pet messes… (I’ll spare you the details…) did not send me into a tizzy… or a rant… or even a rage…

I put my things down… and set about cleaning up… feeling compassion for the animals… and desire to spare my husband more work when he got home…

There was more laughter than complaining…

And in it all… my heart hardly stirred…

What I see is a heart transformed… less troubled by the trouble caused me… and more concerned with the trouble of others…

To tell you the truth… it surprises… and in the aftermath I’m humbly grateful… for the work He’s doing in me…

May heart is steadfast, O God! I will sing and make melody with all my being!

Psalm 108:1 ESV
