wide, long, high & deep

An action-packed morning at our Friday-School Program, the last one of the academic year, has left this clan droopy-tired. Of course we didn't kick back when we arrived home, but headed outside to finish mowing and trimming the lawn before the next dose of rain hits. Beef tips in barbeque sauce are simmering on the back burner, finger sandwiches are chilling in the fridge,
laundry is churning, and our resident 9-year-old is occupied with his skateboard. Now we have a few hours to re-charge before tonight's Academy Night. Come to think of it, Academy Night is merely the kick-off to one social event after another this weekend!
Although my life has been fraught with too much multi-tasking lately, I am considering tackling two more things in the next hour: mulling over the following magnificent passage of scripture while relishing a hot, hot bath. With bubbles, even. Multi-tasking can be a glorious thing.

Paul's Prayer for Spiritual Empowering:

"When I think of the wisdom and scope of God's plan, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will give you mighty inner strength through his Holy Spirit. And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts as you trust in him. May your roots go down deep in the soil of God's marvelous love. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love really is." (Ephesians 3: 14-18, New Living Translation)
