My brother gave me a hooded green sweatshirt about 20 year ago. I wear it all the time. I wear it hunting, fishing, around the house, to the drive-in, drinking coffee on the porch, camping…you get the idea right?
Anyway…on Friday morning I’m at work and I get a text message from my wife.
“I am wearing your sweatshirt because it makes me feel like I am getting a big hug.”
For the next 3 hours I am a happy camper, feeling great about myself…what an awesome message. So on the way home I am driving, listening to some music, and talking to the Lord like most days. I am saying…well Lord I have got to tell all my female friends…send a message like that to your husband and boy will he be happy. Somehow it felt like I was missing something so I’m thinking…well Lord maybe I should tell my wife to tell all her female friends…send a message like that to your husband and boy will he be happy. Something still felt like it was missing.
Then the “ah-ha” moment…”hey Rick…don’t you think I would like a message like that too?” Oh wow…took me about 4 hours to get outside my own feelings and focus on the Lord.
Then I remembered I Peter 5:5 “Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.”
Now it’s my turn to send a text message…
”Lord I am wearing your humility. It looks really big on me…but it makes me feel close to you.”
