For a big chunk of this morning, the we lost electricity all over the building. The only lights around most of the preschool were the glowing exit signs (I think the Fire Marshal would be very happy to see them all working). So you know what the preschool did? They just kept doing their thing. They played and learned and had fun together all by phone flashlights and near windows, and sometimes, yeah, just in the dark. They didn’t stop being who they were because of something outside their control.
Ephesians 1 reminds us that we are God’s children. It says that in him we have redemption, forgiveness, grace, inheritance, salvation, and a mark of the seal of his promise. We’re given all this so that we might live for the praise of his glory. I’m grateful to serve a God who is the same when everything else is different, and thankful that we find our own identity not from any external force, but from the God of the universe who chooses to dwell within us.
Keep doing your thing.
