i'll huff and i'll puff and i'll blow your house down!
Last week I read the Three Little Pigs to a group of kiddos! It is incredible the truth that may come from a children's story. Sometimes I think too much, but this has been a good one for me to contemplate. What is my house made of? Am I easily tattered by the wind that may come my way? Do I plan and prepare for the storms and threats ahead? And how do I even go about that..."Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash." Matthew 7:24-27

"When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares."
~Henri Nouwen

This is the first successful attempt I've seen at relating the Three Little Pigs to scripture. Actually, it's the first attempt period, haha. Great thoughts, Katy! This scripture has been in my mind and heart a lot this year.
