In case you missed this week's Children's Time...
Laurel Powell invited us to reframe those moments that are so uncomfortable that we lose our faith that things will be better or that we can make it. Instead, let's imagine how wonderful it will feel when our need is met by God whose love is abundant.
Instead of saying after a long day, "I'm hangry; I'll never make it to dinner (whine whine)," why not say "I'm so hungry, but when I finally eat dinner the food will taste soooo delicious!"? Whether it is an annoying sibling, a boring day in virtual school or work, or a current event that has you focusing on your discomfort, how might you celebrate how great it will feel when later - when your sibling gives you a hug, you are back to work and school in person, and current events are transformed?
Laurel asked us to tell her about those times we catch ourselves and reframe this week.
