He Opens Doors

"I'm in sixth grade now"...

he proudly proclaimed upon seeing her again

Micah and Mrs. H- September 2013

and I watched the two of them as she stopped 

to look at him, shaking her head in disbelief

"Wow, sixth grade already? 

It seems like just yesterday that

I tested you for Kindergarten!"

She looked at me smiling... 

(and I knew what was coming next)

"I'll never forget that as we

were leaving the room you said,

'Let me open the door because

that's what a man does for a lady.' 

She had never heard a five-year-old

speak in that manner and

6 years...

3 months...

150 students...

later

she was still talking about him

There are few things

that make such a lasting

impression

indention

but some things touch us so deeply

that we remember...

We remember that

After the time of testing,

He opens doors

opens doors

(while reminding He is the Door)

perhaps really saying

After the test, I will

open myself to you

open myself

reveal myself

allow myself

to become transparent

enough for you to see

Me

And His Word leaves

an impression

an indention

reminding us to thank Him

for fond memories

completed tests

and

opened doors
