it's something I do almost every day in my classroom.
kneeling down to tie a shoe.
kneeling down to see eye to eye.
kneeling down to pick up the scattered papers and pencils strewn.
yes ... I kneel down a lot.
but... the more I ponder God's grace and mercy and unending love ... the more I realize that my kneeling down can be so much more than what it is (or what it has been).
................................
kneeling down ... a reminder to cry out for help.
kneeling down ... a reminder to ask for forgiveness.
kneeling down ... a reminder to worship.
kneeling down .... a reminder to pray.
kneeling down ... a reminder to love.
.....................
so as I catch myself kneeling down over and over and over again each day ...
in my classroom,
on the playground,
in the bedroom of two little boys I love so much ...
mopping up spills,
cleaning the grime,
putting clothes away ...
wherever my knees may take me,
may I always and easily remember the power a minute or two {down} really has.

Thanks for the reminder that : on bended knee is where the power begins :-)
Amen! Thanks for reminding me to NOT let my praying knees get lazy :) Sweet blessings!
