With all three kids back in school I expected to roll into a new routine. Yet I forgot the ever changing schedules that happen on a day to day basis. For example this one doesn’t have practice, that one has a half day, etc.
I have learned over time that I am a pattern person and love routines. When they get shifted I can get thrown off. Today I was feeling thrown off as our schedule was shifted this afternoon.
I repeated these words to myself.
There is probably a better saying yet I said these words to one of my children once reflecting to them they needed to be more flexible or they’d break.
Yet they aren’t the only ones who need to practice this.
I do too.
I share this with you today in case you can relate. I invite you to join me to...
pause. breathe. pray.
May we make our plans but let God direct our steps. May we be willing to bend so we don’t break so we can have more calm within today and be more present with who we are with.
With love and hope,
Shawn
