By Example

I’ve always known that children learn best from example. As a parent of many toddlers, sometimes that thought is overwhelming. “What kind of example am I setting right now...?” It inspires me to aim higher, yes. But it also sobers and humbles me. For instance, how often to I complain to my children that I am tired of hearing complaining? 🙊 In all seriousness, I start and end each day on my knees asking earnestly for grace to be a picture of Jesus to my precious babies. And a picture of godly, faithful, contented motherhood. The other week we were planting strawberries. Lynnea Rose is a real helper girl and wanted to hand me the plants. Sometimes she pulled the leaves off when trying to free the plugs from their tray and more than once I had to stop myself from encouraging her to “go and play”. How easy it is to forget the simple truth that in order for little ones to become proficient helpers they must be allowed to help. Suddenly she paused and “checked” on the ba...

His Work In Me

My one year old teaches me about finding satisfaction in a process. She loves to sweep. She takes a little hand broom and struts around the house stopping now and then to tap the floor with much gusto. Then she moves on to another area where she again taps the floor and groans to emphasize the effort. She has no idea about clean or dirty floors or that there is a object to be gained by sweeping them. She is just filled with delight in the task itself. Of course the joy being in the process and not in the product is not limited to sweeping. If you’ve spent time with any toddler you know what I mean. They pull all the dishes out of the cupboard and if you come along they will be quite happy to help put them back where they belong, but just as you are putting the last item back, thinking, “phew, task complete” they are pulling them out all over again with joy and alacrity- like: “Mom, that was so fun. Let’s do it again”. We could empty a cupboard and fill it again a doz...

Only One Thing

You'd think that after reading a Bible story for all your life, eventually it would become familiar enough to stop landing directly between the eyes. Eventually, maybe eventually, it would stop rebuking you. But no. With all my heart I want to sigh as I read the words: "...Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary." Only one thing, eh? How about for a busy mommy with a beloved rambunctious one year old who gets into everything, or, once he wearies of that, has to be held? (Not talked to, not entertained with a toy, no songs, no carrier, none of that, no!! Just held in front, that's the way.) What about making breakfast for the hubby and the said munchkin (who is now acting like he's never eaten before, he is SO HUNGRY)? What about cleaning my house, what about the pile of laundry, what about the emails piling up, what about the 85 texts I haven't yet replied to (no exaggeration, ask my friends)? ...
