but daddy

Last night John got lily ready for bed. They laid down on the couch. In a few minutes I heard Lily… “but daddy…” John was telling her that it was time to go to sleep – with every reason he offered she replied “but daddy…” It was difficult not to smile because her tiny voice is so sweet.

I was praying as I got into bed and began to think of all the times the Lord asks me to do something and my reply is much like Lilys. Lord I see why you are asking me to do this but I am so busy… I know Lord but I am so tired… I know Lord but I think someone else would do it better… My prayer last night and this morning was to serve the Lord when asked…no ifs ands or buts…
