Getting Picked

Last weekend I watched "Letters to God", what a great movie.  Sad, but great!

In the movie, a boy with cancer writes letters to God about all the people that he cares about, and things he wants God to know about them. 


That was his way of communicating with God, he wrote him, while most of us talk to him.  What a great idea.  I have known other people who write things down to pray for but not really anybody that writes letters. 

While that was a really what the movie was about, my favorite thing of the movie was when the little boy looked at his mom, and said, "Mom, you know God picked you.  He picked you to be my mom."

That was the sweetest, most honest thing of the movie! 

Because it is true!  God did pick you, he picked you to be right where you are right now. 

No matter what it is you are going though, just remember you were picked, picked by God.

I was picked to be a caregiver to mom.

A wife to my husband.

A mom to my kids.

A bookkeeper.

A Sunday school teacher.

A friend.

A sister.

All this and more.  And knowing that I was picked for it makes me want to do it all the better!
