You Never Know
This Video so reminds me of my daughter. She is always doing things for others,
but has 5 kids and a husband to take care of. They have an insanely busy
schedule. I wish things would slow down for them sometimes. The kids
are growing up so fast and it will all seem like a blur later, but this is life. It
is good,-all the things they do for others and for their kids. But I
see sooooo much how these young families really need to replenish the
water in their well . Or in other words, fill up when they are running
on empty. And I know you know what I mean.
After I wrote this, I read a comment that some one put on Utube about this, I will post it below my comment on it -right here:
I do believe what this gal is saying. We, as young and older Women need to prioritize. We need to realize how much we are realistically capable of doing. But it is so hard to find a balance. And most of all, we need to forgive ourselves. Learn from our mistakes and go on. If we don't do this, This is how a mental breakdown starts out. ( When we never truly forgive ourselves and are not realistic in what we should be doing and what we can do.) I just hope we can each learn what is the right way for us as an individual. I'm still working on that, but I have learned not to be as hard on myself. I pray that I won't be hard on others either. No one likes someone to tell them what they are doing wrong. The condescending attitude has got to go....... Okay , that's my two cents worth today.....:) Marie Adams
I
know this is well meant, but the Bible does not teach us to be martyrs
in this way. Learning to say no to your children and letting them fail
when they do not do their jobs is being a good mother. If your kid gets
a zero for not doing his science fair, then he learns a lesson. If
your daughter is hungry because she won't eat her breakfast, then she'll
learn a lesson. A child can go with the mother to a doctor's
appointment or someone else can keep them. Dads can make a meal or even
(horrors!) buy a Stoffer lasagna after a baby is born. Teaching women
that they are nothing but servants, unable to fulfill themselves except
by sacrificing their own needs and desires is not right. There needs to
be a balance, not a sacrifice.
