I’m one – third of the way there and I have to confess that
this has not been easy. I have struggled
as a writer (since I’m not one). I’ve struggled
emotionally with some of the posts. I’ve
struggled to not become more insane by doing this than I already was. But thank goodness, this really isn’t about
me. I have been so encouraged over the
past day or two by other women who have written me and stated that they have
similar struggles, that we are not alone.
Motherhood is a season, that will pass much too
quickly. One of my greatest desires as a
mother is to show my girls the love of Christ through my life. But this can’t happen if I’m too busy running
around, cleaning up clutter, and worried about what everyone is doing that I’m
not. This morning was one of those
mornings I’ll savor for a while.
Instead of rushing through breakfast and cleaning dishes
while they eat, I enjoyed my cup of coffee and just listened to my girls. After listening to the Daily Audio Bible, we
discussed the importance of living a quiet life, my two big girls giving their
own versions of what they heard. We
talked about what they’ve been learning in Sunday School, of Abraham and the
promise. Then, Sophie (my two year old)
led us in a spontaneous song of “This Little Light of Mine” which always makes
me smile. Most mornings are not like
this. There is often a lot of whining,
quick prayers, and little time in His Word.
But there is always grace, and there is always tomorrow. Let us not stop encouraging one another
through this journey, and pray daily that we might show our little ones the
love of Christ through our lives.
