I should be in bed right now, and I'll be frustrated with myself in the morning for being up too late...but, that's often the way I roll. After the typical nightly routine (dinner, homework, baths, nagging the kids to pick up their dirty clothes--
some day they will do it without being told, right?, and multiple kisses good night), I started productively checking things off my "to-do" list. The productivity was short-lived, though. After ordering a Christmas present online, I then lost myself for hours in the world of social media. Now, I am the type of person who is constantly asking myself "what do I
need to be doing right now?" The answer is typically something like:
- laundry
- emptying/loading dishwasher
- reading my Bible
- picking out clothes for tomorrow
- making "to do" list for the next day
- spending QT with husband and/or kids
- organizing
You probably get the picture. But as I began surfing tonight, I quickly realized that there was a purpose in what I was doing. I was drawn to Galatians 6:2 - Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. My heart aches for the many trials and tribulations being faced by family members, friends, acquaintances, and people I don't even know. Why does it take other people's burdens to make us see the everyday things that we take for granted?
