Trying to get to my kids’ activities isn’t always easy these days, but they’re the one thing I’m determined not to miss! I love being their biggest fan in everything they do. Last week my daughter had her fall choir concert, and thankfully I found a great seat.
I was a bit worried about where I’d park my trusty knee scooter. After some strategic maneuvering (and a few tight turns that could’ve qualified me for a scooter obstacle course), I found an edge seat and made it work. Our school’s theater area is cozy—that’s the nice way of saying it’s a little small and could use a few more accessibility updates!
The funny thing is, I noticed two other people using knee scooters that night. I almost felt like we should have formed a scooter squad—maybe come up with a secret handshake or synchronized parking plan. There’s something oddly comforting about knowing you’re not alone in your wobbling and wheeling! I even thought I would be strategic and leave through the emergency exit as I knew where I would be and as I wheeled there and looked I saw four steps and laughed and said "nope" as I directed the family on getting out.
But in all seriousness, I was reminded that even in the middle of inconvenience, God still shows up in the small things. Whether it’s getting to see my daughter sing, laughing at my scooter mishaps, or connecting with others who understand—He meets us in it all.
“The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.” — Psalm 37:23 (NLT)
“A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength.” — Proverbs 17:22 (NLT)
So I’ll keep scooting, cheering, laughing, and trusting that every small victory is part of the big picture God’s painting in this season of healing.
