SHUT THE... door.

I don't know about you, but I spend a lot of my time telling my kids to:

Shut the door!

Shut the door, don't let the dog inside!

Shut the door, it's raining!

Shut the door and don't bring sand inside!

Or my favourite:

Shut the door -don't let the penguins out!

But sometimes I feel we shut the door too much.

Close the door because I don't have the time.

Close the door because I have my own agenda.

Close the door because I don't want to express my emotion.

Close the door because I  don't understand.

Close the door because I am afraid.

Maybe it's time to open the door to God. Sometimes open the door to conflict, to lessons he might be teaching us. Open to the impossible because God does the impossible.

And keeping it open -always to his voice.
