We’ve been living in our house for five years.

It’s a two-storey house.

It has windows high up on the side wall as you walk in.

The windows have shutters, and a string attached to open them.

Only yesterday – after five years! – I stretched to pull the blinds open with the string.

When I did, light flooded in.

Why had I lived in the ‘dark’ for so long?

I guess it didn’t occur to me to change anything.

But I’m so glad I did!

Here’s a reflection question for today…

What ‘window shutters’ in your life have you been keeping closed?

And what would prompt you to open them?
