Today at breakfast Kathryn goes, "I don't think Jesus is coming back today, Mom." She said it in this very disappointed and matter-of-fact tone of voice. "Probably not, but wouldn't that be great?" I answered. "Yeah," she said.
Maybe that is it too. The flurry of a new year...the end of Christmas...putting things away and then finding more stuff to put away. We received a Christmas letter from a friend reminding us to really treasure these months and years. Their oldest is going to graduate from high school this spring. I can remember being in youth group and their son was too little to even talk. Bridget is starting to pull up, eat baby food, and she is just big. Time is going fast. I want to treasure it and enjoy it...even the chaos. Maybe that is it too.

Praying for you today. I also have had a lot on my mind this week. Last night I was reading in Joshua and was encouraged by this verse (maybe you will be, too):
This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. (1:8-9)
I have been so guilty of focusing on the shortcomings of others, myself & my abilities, my job, etc.... no wonder I despair!
Talk to you soon,
Erin
