Do any of you struggle with feeling unproductive and unaccomplished at the end of the day?
Me too.
I know I am adjusting to a new schedule this week yet I have been beating myself up about my lack of productivity.
I have been praying about it and this morning after every task I finished I felt like God say to my heart, “see you accomplished that.”
By the time it was 8:30 am I realized I had accomplished a lot of mundane things, like making the bed, brushing my teeth, making meals, tidying up, driving my people places, etc.
I share this with you today in case you have lost sight, like I did, of how many little things we do accomplish in our day. They may not be big, fancy, social media worthy things, but they matter and make our world, and our family’s world better.
So if you have been hard on yourself like I have been, I invite you to join me to...
pause. breathe. pray.
May we gain perspective on how the little things do matter. May our worth not lie in the big things we expect of ourselves, or in what others expect of us, but in the truth that God loves us as we are, not for what we accomplish.
With love and hope,
Shawn
We love because he first loved us.
