Taking Care of Your Glass Ball

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, aol hairs your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7

If you couldn't make it to our last meeting we had amazing woman, Caroline Mandich, give us some great insight on how we as moms can spend time with God all the while taking care of our babies, our hubby, home, work and more!

She described our relationship with God as if it were a glass ball. Just like our relationship with our husbands and our taking care of our kids, if we don't take care of those relationships they tend to break easily, like a glass ball. Think about the things you do everyday—go to work, spend time with your family, eat, or maybe watch TV. Whether it’s helping others or getting rest, you’ll find value in all of those things. But do you see value in spending time with your Creator? Spending time with God isn't just sitting down in a nice comfy chair with a cup of coffee, you can spend time with him by listening to worship music, or reading a quick blurb from a devotional calendar you have in your kitchen or bathroom. Just remember He is everywhere and when you start to feel discouraged or your frustrations running high because life is just way to hectic, turn to Him for comfort and to fill you with His peace.  God created you to spend time with Him. By doing so, you’re honoring Him, helping others, and getting spiritual rest and peace.
Reflection:
1. What keeps you from visiting and talking with Jesus?
2. Where is one place you would like to meet with Him?
3. What tangible thing(s) will you do to encourage your to draw near to Jesus?

Prayer:
Thank you Jesus for always being there for me, ready to take my worries and pain away and replacing them with your peace and joy. Thank you for your gift of love and eternal life.
