I wake up in the early morning, My lack of sleep I am mourning. I put my Hope 242 shirt on As I look out to the light of the dawn.
On the back the shirt reads:
By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments, And his commandments, are not burdensome. For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. - 1 John 5:2-4
On our road trip We stop at a Waffle House. I’m not in the best mood When we sit down to eat our food.
It’s extremely crowded. “Two pecan waffles!” someone just shouted. While the waitress is overwhelmed yet joyful, I sit no longer hungry yet self-centered.
I finish and push my plate aside, Lean forward, and watch the cooks work side by side. “Sir.” She says calmly as I turn around in my seat. “Your shirt is just what I needed. Thanks you so much.”
She looks peaceful in the midst of chaos. And I realize then, That God can use you even when You are at a loss.
