"Now it came to pass, as Peter went through all parts of the country, that he also came down to the saints who dwelt in Lydda. There he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden eight years and was paralyzed. And Peter said to him, 'Aeneas, Jesus the Christ heals you. Arise and make your bed.' Then he arose immediately."
Acts 9:32-34
This seems like a strange command: "Make your bed." Surely after being incapacitated for eight years and not being able to do anything for himself, there was something more important to do than "make your bed." Perhaps Peter was saying to Aeneas, "Other people have waited on you for a long time. Now it's time for you to take care of your own needs, starting with making your own bed. Get on with life." It may seem that making your bed is a mundane thing to do, but that's what life is made up of – doing for myself the mundane and not expecting other people to serve me.
Today's Thought: I need to do what I can do without expecting other people to serve me.
Have a mundane day. Love you.
