She is not the first one I have seen do this. She might have been a lefty and so this maybe felt more comfortable to her. But the thing is , that is not the way the reel was designed to be used! I wanted to go to her and show her, “not that way silly, this way.” And if she complained that she was a lefty, I would switched the side that the handle was on for her so she could do it the right way. Most things in life don’t get me but that one is like finger nails on a chalk board. If you hooked a really big fish doing it that other way, chances would not be in your favor. It just wasn’t designed to work that way.
Understanding design helps us operate not only little fishing reels the right way, but really it helps us in any number of areas of life. When we don’t understand the design of something we are often tempted to take short cuts, to misuse or even abuse something. But when we understand and honor the design of something, things work so much better.
God designed motherhood. His design is spectacular. Our world often wants us to believe that God’s design is awkward and unwieldy. The world neither understanding the design (or the Designer) does it wrong and then blames the designer. They think that they can do it better. Like the vintage baby formula adds that suggested that their product was much better than what mom has to offer. Or those branches of science who are pursuing the creation of children without the need for men. They ignore both design and designer.
As we launch the PG sermon series, it is fitting that we begin with God’s design for moms. Not only do we want to look at what God has designed but we want to honor it. It honors moms and it honors the Designer.
Come discover God’s design and how we can honor it and honor moms.
As with all the sermons in this series, there will be a time of discussion led by Susan and I . We hope to share some of our insights into parenting and encourage you.
God Bless,
