So much to say.
It’s been a week of so much to think. So much to say. So much to learn. So much to teach.
The thoughts of children, parents, siblings, spouses, old friends, new friends, friends who have passed on…
The thoughts of lacrosse games, meals, Key West, illness, health, beaches, cold weather, warm weather, meals to prepare, a house to clean, a party to host, a Bible study to begin, babies, toddlers, kids, love, aggravation, exhaustion, energy, coffee (one of my new favorite things), pets, splinters, boo-boo’s, bandaids, and on and on and on…
It’s the time of day when I, the student of this life, download. It’s amazing how much can happen in one week…
7 days
Many amazing things can happen in 7 days. 7 days. God made everything in 7 days (well, on the 7th day He rested ~ why can’t we learn? There is a day meant for rest). Yes, I’ve heard it, I’ve believed different ideas at different times of my life… I know some say “7 days,” some say, “well, it’s just a representation of a period of time…” I’ve heard it. All I know is The Book says…
7 days
All I know is that I believe The Good Book.
If I can do all of this and think all of this in 7 days… yes, God could have made it all in 7 days. He’s God.
It’s funny as I sit down to write ~ the thoughts come to me as my fingers pound the keyboard… this beautiful release… this writing… these words. God gave us words. He filled us with words. Mental words we dare never release… and the words that we set free… words of comfort, words of anger, words of joy, words of sorrow, words of fear, words of love, and on and on and on…
Tomorrow is Mother’s Day. The day that reminds us of our past, opens our eyes to our present. There are too many words to cover what a mother is… what a mother does… what a mother does not… what a mother means… what a mother does not mean. These words inside us. Sometimes, I, as mom, have released the words I did not mean. Most of the time, I have showered the words I want to fill my little ones with… the words I hope fill them and carry them into adulthood… knowing Mom loves them… and God loves them more.
This treasure of words inside us. I make another attempt on this new Mother’s Day to release the words of love and fill my young children with them.
Inside our mommy souls, He has planted treasures to share with them. The beautiful surprises inside. His Spirit within, stirring to transform… us and them.
Happy Mother’s Day
John 1:1-2
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.
