Doing my chores … with God!
On Christmas morning when I was nine, I thought I’d been given the best present ever. It came in a very big box. I couldn’t imagine what it was.
When I opened it, I found a lawn mower. Wow! It was a really cool, grown-up machine. I couldn’t wait to try it!
But just a few years later, I no longer liked the mower, and I felt like my present had been a trick. Cutting the grass wasn’t fun; it was a chore. Besides, the mower was too loud. And using it made me get too hot.
