And people should eat and drink and enjoy the fruits of their labor, for these are gifts from God. Ecclesiastes 3:13
Take the random day off and have a me day. Indulge in the extra scoop of ice cream with your kids. Take a bath and sit in silence. No one ever got hurt from getting that much needed pedicure.
It is so important that as Moms we remember we are often serving everyone else before we meet our own needs. There is always something to be done. Always. We need to pause, celebrate the life we’ve created; enjoy the fruit. If we let Him, God will provide our life with an abundance of fruit.
Don’t forget to take Him up on his offer and enjoy your much deserved fruit!
Prayer for pausing to celebrate
Lord, Please help me remember to pause and soak in all of the blessings you have provided me with. At times it is hard to remember that it really is ok to sit back and enjoy, to slow down. Let me remember that you want me to enjoy them and to feel rejuvenated.
Amen
