I was sharing my adventures as a consultant for Norwex, a company committed to cleaning without chemicals.
The work went well, the food just right, but what my mind's eye found fascinating was their laughter and conversation with each other about the huge list of concerns that meet their every day.
This morning I remember that they carve out steady. That is, every day they are:
The warmth of the world their children view (along with some great dads).
The nuts and bolts of food, clothing, and scheduling, appearing to never waver in availability.
The filter through which their children see the hope and love of life.We carve out steady for others; somewhere in there we must remember to carve out steady for ourselves.
Do we, as leaders of our small and large tribes, give God ample time to:
Be the warmth of our world that we view daily?
Be the nuts and bolts Provider of food, clothing and scheduling, with the assurance that He never wavers in availability?
Be our filter through which we see the hope and love of life?Mothers are somehow wired to energetically carve out steady for those we love.
Precious young moms--do remember: God wants to carve out steady for you.
