Asking my husband to grab me a glass of water on his way back through the kitchen or to do something extra during his planned duty seems to send the man into mass hysteria. Not really mass hysteria, but pretty darn close. I think moms have been given this special talent/blessing/gift of multi-thinking/tasking.
Walk with me as I head to change Connor's diaper.
Pick up the set of 10 Stacking Cups so I don't fall and tear my other mcl, pick up dirty pajamas that Bren & Ella left on the floor and get them into the dirty laundry basket, along with one of Jacob's random socks, pick up and put away the fort making materials (blankets), shut the bathroom light off and close the door, make Ella's bed, organize a new package of diapers on the diaper shelf, get Connor on the table, change his diaper and recite 1st Corinthians 13:4-8 that's posted by my changing table.
Our house is modest at best, nothing to boast about really; so although it seems like my walk took forever, really it was over in the matter of a few minutes. I'm always thinking and planning ahead about what the most efficient way to get everything I should get done, on my way to what I need to get done immediately. How much so is our time on this earth relative to this short walk to change a diaper? Our average 80 years of life is such a mini blimp on the radar of eternity. It is empowering and humbling. God hand picked me for this time right now and has every step planned out before I was even born. A.M.A.Z.I.N.G! What will I do to impact the most people for Christ during my short walk here on earth? What am I doing today, right now, to show Him to others? Tomorrow is not always a guarantee, so whether you are walking to the other side of your house to change a poopy diaper or through court room doors; walk with your head held high in honor of Jesus who gave His life for you. Pray for Holy Spirit guidance & strength to take advantage of opportunities to reach out and pick up as many people as you can on your way to whatever it is you are going to do!
