Everyday Scooters

​I remember when I was the substitute teacher for 2nd grade gym and oh how excited the eight-year-olds were for “Friday Free Day” which meant hula hoops, balls and scooters.  Unfortunately, for Caleb, there weren’t enough little floor scooters to go around.  So, after 10 minutes I asked Megan to give her blue scooter to Caleb. She was about to do when she noticed a red and orange one rolled to the side. But as I led Caleb to the scooters he stopped me, tears coming, and sniffled; “I know it doesn’t matter and all colored scooters are the same, but I just need a blue one.” Megan obliged giving up her blue for red but wondered; “Why?”  “Oh, just because,” I said.  God gets out “crazy” too.  Psalm 55:2 says, “Attend to and answer me; I’m restless and distraught in my complaint and must moan.”

No matter how little your need is, it matters to God because you matter to Him, absolutely and completely…everyday.
