Cup of Tea Together : Wow! That was BUSY!

Day 1: The first morning I sleepily got out of bed at 5:30 am. Happy to start the day with God's Word and a cup of coffee.

After my refreshing morning routine I prepared fruit and cheese for my precious gems to snack on until it was time for the marvelous breakfast I had planned.

Day 14: 7:30 AM, It was still dark in my room, I was almost comatose in my bed when I heard the wings of an angel "Grammy, are you awake?" I turned to see a refreshed, round faced, bright eyed grandchild looking for some direction, some food and lots of attention.

Boy had things changed.

My love and devotion were still the same. My grandchildren are the light of my life. What changed was my energy level.

I am thinking about sweet mamas right now. I have renewed devotion and respect for their daily, weekly, monthly and yearly task of their role as believers, wives and moms.

Years ago I walked that road. I am a mom of 4 adult children. It was fun and I wouldn't change it for the world but it was exhausting.

Now my life is different, I can actually sit here and type this out on my laptop. If I wanted to I could go peruse Pinterest for a little while.

I am able to rest.

If there are other women like myself, able to rest a bit. Maybe we can lend a hand to those mamas with little ones. We can babysit so they can take an afternoon off just to think. Maybe we can become their friend and help them with their housework. Sometimes we could give rides while mom stayed home and could actually finish making dinner without an interruption.

We could at least send notes in the mail. When the grandkids were here I did not have a lot of time for such luxuries of email and facebook so a note in the mail would be greatly recieved.

Think about it, maybe it's something the Lord would put on your heart.
