I don't know why bath time for Kate has turned into my "reflecting on life" moment but so be it!
During bathtime she loves if I squirt a little soap into her hand. She rubs rubs rubs her tummy and arms. But she's moved on to her legs and that is where the problem lies. You see, her legs are under water. So try as she might she cannot get her soapy hands to her legs fast enough before the water washes the soap away.
It got me thinking. God gives us all the tools we need to live effectively. Grace, forgiveness, mercy, joy, peace, kindness.
But if we don't USE God's tools properly, they are ineffective. We must use what God gives us..what He says we have in abundance, or else it is just like Kate, letting the water wash the soap away...rendering us ineffective Christians.
