In reality I am doing so many things during every moment of every day that I cannot add some of the things I once could. All day every day, I am listening to two boys being attentive to each word: to possibly correct, to laugh, to encourage, to teach. I am watching two boys: to make sure they don't hurt themselves, hurt each other, or break anything. I am cleaning: their toys, their messes, their scrapes and cuts, our plates, our clothes.
I am doing my best to love my husband in a way that my children can see it (even when he is not there) and to love my children in such a way that they see the love of Jesus. There's no weekend to being a mother; the job just keeps right on going.
So Mothers, be encouraged, you are multi-taskers and you're probably pretty darn good at it.
You are a multi-tasker! No question about it. You forgot to add to the list, "I am seamlessly welcoming friends into our lives so that they might be blessed beyond reason with who we are as a family and who I am as a wife, mother, and friend."
ReplyDeleteYou are too good to me.
