Greetings from the depths
Greetings from the depths...
The depths ...
...of winter
...of the bottomless pit of homework
...of despair over a crisis of faith
...of being overwhelmed with the responsibility and magnitude of parenthood
A lot is happening all the time in life. Sometimes we feel it stronger than others. This week has been one of those times. The world seems soooo... big and wrong and you feel so small trying to do anything right.
And yet, as I tell my kids, we are responsible for our own actions. No one else. So even though it may seem small, I will do my part.
I will teach. Teach my kids they are loved always. Teach them to be kind, loving, and gentle to everyone they meet.
I will love. Without judgment, just grace.
I will learn. I will keep open to new ideas and information to help me guide my actions and lead my family.
My crocuses have been trying to bloom since January. Snow keeps coming to keep them buried, but they still keep pushing up through the depths of winter reaching for spring. They were created to bloom, so that is what they will do.
WE were created to bloom, so we must keep pushing up, no matter how deep the depths.
