With a long to-do list and a half day
off from school, my son, Jordan, said the words this mama's heart
loved to hear.
“Mom, will you come with me?”
A phone call and a few emails later, I
had cleared the day to spend with my soon-to-be high school graduate.
I even decided to push my blog post back a day, knowing that the
world wouldn't stop without it and hoping God would give me some
encouraging words to share with you today.
He never fails.
Even though Jordan and I ran errands
and checked things off of his list, we did it together. We talked
about everything and nothing, without an agenda or being in planning
mode. Our time together was precious and worth any amount of
inconvenience it may have caused. Our cups runneth over.
I know that we can't always drop
everything in a moments notice to do fun things. But we need to every
once in a while. Not only do we get to spend time with someone
amazing, God manages to replenish our soul with the fellowship.
In Scripture, Martha complained to
Jesus because her sister, Mary, would not help her serve. Mary sat at
His feet instead of working. Expecting Jesus to be on her side, I'm
sure Martha was a little surprised when He told her that Mary had
picked the better thing.
Time is fleeting, yet we use it as if
we have an unlimited amount. Are you enjoying it? Or are you working
so hard that time seems to be passing you by? God provides us with
opportunities to be filled with Him, we only need to embrace the
moment!
Be blessed,
Jennifer
“As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a
village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a
sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he
said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to
be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my
sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”
“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and
upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only
one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away
from her.”” Luke 10:38-42
