I've been reflecting on this word a lot lately.
I'm so used to being busy, to being involved, to volunteering and helping others outside my family.
So there are a lot of emotions associated with having to slow down.
I read in Ephesians 2:10 about the good works God prepared in advance for me to do, and want to figure out what I can still do to help others within my new limitations.
And I hear the Spirit say and others confirm, "Mothering is enough."
Each day I look at what I think I should be doing around my house, and don't always have the energy or time to do it all.
And yet, somehow by God's grace and power I am able to do enough.
Today I read a devotional in Word for Today that talked about the fact that God gave only enough manna for that day. I was also reminded how Jesus taught us to ask for our daily bread and not to worry about tomorrow.
So I will refocus when I get anxious and feel inadequate.
Just today. Just this moment.
It is enough.
