Now what?

You never know what you might be missing if you grow up too much and stop asking,

“Now what?”

~~Thelma Wells

This morning’s prayer and meditation for Sally’s healing comes from Take Heart, Oh God: Riches from the Greatest Christian Women Writers of All Time.

Children are famous for complaining, “There’s nothing to do.” Send them outside, and suddenly their day unfolds into an exhilarating whirlwind of friends and fun.

Children’s lives have a margin in them that allows them to ask, “Now what?” They don’t map out their afternoons around who they’ll play with and what they’ll do. They have room for spontaneity. As adults, however, we tend to schedule our time almost to the minute. No margins. No room for “now what?”

That’s too bad, because God needs us to leave a margin in our lives for him. He has people for us to meet. Places for us to go. Love to experience. Laughter to share.

What would happen if once in a while you left the laundry unfolded and left part of your day unfolded as well so you could say to God, “Now what?” Then let him surprise you!
