Sunday Musings
Sunday. A day of rest. Unless you have kids. Or a life.
My husband has been working all weekend. He’s a teacher so he’s busy preparing for his classes. No rest for the weary.
This morning I took the girls to church. They learned about the Good Shepherd and His sheep. I learned about how giving up control can lead to greater blessings. A lesson I am in great need of hearing.
I do enjoy going to church. I just am really bad at actually getting there. We’re busy and more often than not, to my shame, it’s just not a priority. But this week I really felt I should go and make sure the kids went too. And although I’m sure they enjoyed the candy and prizes they received more than the lesson that were presented, I’m sure they are learning too.
After church, we always grab a cookie and then head home.
This afternoon I have to make sure I make buns. Another thing I have been neglecting. I should have done it last weekend but I just could summon the motivation or will power to do it. But this weekend is all about doing the things I should instead of the things I would - if I had no responsibilities. I guess that’s all just part of being an adult.
Being an adult sucks. My kids are still in their church clothes watching Netflix.
But letting kids be kids and enjoy their childhood is one of my biggest responsibilities. And one of can’t neglect.
Meanwhile my dog enjoys the sunshine.
