Moms, I know you’re busy and crazy-tired, but please make time to read this.
Then go and be a wife to your husband and a mother to your children. Feel good about your industriousness in your home. Love God and your family first, and know you’re being a good steward of your time. You are doing enough. (Note to self: So are you, Katie! )
Let us all learn to say, “I’m sorry, but I can’t do that,” and to be content in being “just” a mom.
I’d like to write more, but you guessed it: “I’m sorry; I can’t do that.” Not now when a child is cuddled close to me and deserves her mom’s full attention. A child whom I should always see, not as a disruption, but as a reminder that I have been called to dedicate my life and my love to God and the family He has given me.
I'm once again learning that lesson quickly as I'm facing my year of "single" parenting. Did it the other day when I told someone 'no, sorry, we can't be there". Didn't get a very nice response back, but was glad I did it anyway.
