Our yard has lots of patches of clovers. LOTS of patches of clovers. It's become a little challenge between my mother and I too see who can find the most with four leaves. My son has even gotten into the spirit by pointing "right there" at which plant he thinks might be good luck.
I was outside yesterday bending over looking into yet another patch which seemed to have no four-leaf clovers in it. I'm a bit competitive so my back was aching as I kept searching. Finally I decided to just sit down...why hadn't I thought of it before??
As I sat down on the ground, a four-leaf clover was right there for the taking. I heard God speak to me....
"Sometimes you have to get right down in the middle of things".
I thought about my family, friends, those who I pray for. And I realized that I don't always take action. Yes, I pray as I am called to do. But often I don't extend a hand. I don't get right in the middle of things and try to help. I tend to take more of a sidelines approach. My prayer today is that I jump in with both feet and get right down in the middle of things. Help me Lord to be more of a "doer" than of a "watcher". I know You'll give me the strength and wisdom to accomplish my goal.
