Last week, I had the opportunity to sit down with a fellow mom and just talk about life. We talked about our kids and the joy and the frustration that they bring. We talked about our husbands and the joy and the frustration that they bring : ) We talked about making decisions for our family based on what other people think we should do. We talked about "mommy guilt"- this false sense of guilt that mommies get when they see others being "better" moms. (You know, the ones who breastfeed, use cloth diapers, make their own baby food, home school their kiddos, all that good, but not imperative stuff...)
Those few hours were so refreshing to my heart. I encourage you to hang out with somebody soon and share your heart with them. If that seems like too much to cram into your schedule, write "Coffee Night!" on your calendar on Thurs. March 10th. Join a bunch of women from 7-9pm at Trinity House. It'll be fun, guaranteed!
My heart was also encouraged Saturday evening. Ross and I hosted two young couples- one that has been married for a couple of years and one that will be married in a couple of months. They loved on Caleb, asked a billion questions about babies and shared lots of laughs with us. It was so good for Ross and my hearts. It is good to have friends and it is good to share time with them.
I also encourage you to think about some people that your family can spend time with together. Invite people over for dinner, pull out a board game and share life and laughs.
You'll be glad you did : )
