I Mowed the Lawn Today

I think I understand Dad a bit better than I did before today. I mowed the lawn. I saw possibilities. I saw the need to subdue nature. I saw the possibilities that God gave us through creation. I wanted to bend it for the glory of God and for myself.

God does it. We manage it. It's beautiful. I understand my parents a bit better now. They wanted to take what God gave them and make it into a praise to Him. It was their offering for what He gave them. I am so pleased with what they did for Him. I will try to make my sacrifice as worthy.
