Once I had a young student who was mildly dyslexic. She struggled with it, thinking she was stupid. Sometimes though she came up with astounding insights, things that I remember to this day.
She was working on her math homework one day and I noticed the subtraction problem she was working on. The problem read 8 - 5 =___. Her answer was 13.
I tried to help her work through the math using an image of M&Ms. I asked her, "If you had 8 M&Ms and you gave your brother 5 of them..."
She quickly responded, "I would never do that!"
I smiled and went on, "Well, let's say you did. Would you have more M&Ms after you gave them away than you had to start with?"
She gave me the biggest smile and told me, "Yes. God would give me more."
I was astounded. It occurred to me take maybe her checkbook would never be balanced, but she wouldn't ever run out of money.
Think about it. God is a generous Father. All He wants is our love and trust.
Thanks for visiting with me.
God bless us all.
