Thought for today:
She may say, "I used to be so energetic, but all these people take, take, take from me and now I have no time to just be me!" And the world gathers around and comforts her and says she needs some time to follow her dreams.But the Christian woman needs to see, "I used to be so boring! Now my character has some depth, some people to love, some hardships to bear. Now I have some material to work with." (Loving the Little Years, Jankovic, p. 61)
In anticipation of Valentine's Day, how thankful I am for the noise, the mess, the unrelenting needs, the general challenge and gift it is to have people in my life (in fact, in my very home), who are precious instruments of grace and growth to me.
