Love is an Action

"Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends." I Corinthians 13:4-8a

I need to memorize this scripture for sure. Now that my two little ones are older, I seem to be moving out of the weary stage. Moms can be so hard on themselves during the early years of their children's lives. When our children are walking, talking and eating on their own it allows us to relax a little. It's hard to find replenishment when you are constantly taking care of someone else's needs.

However, enough said, this is a new season of my life. I am enjoying being able to rejoin friends in their lives. I have the opportunity to be an encourager. This is a great joy to me. I have felt so unusable. I want to fulfill my role as a wife and mother and keeper of my home, however, I desire to enjoy friendships also. To have friends, I need to be a friend. I have to say that as silly as it may sound to some, facebook has been amazing for me. Being a stay at home mom and living at least 20 minutes from town and homeschooling to boot has definately raised its challenges. An outlet is so needed when you are not able to bounce ideas off of other adults. I am thankful to have such a supportive group of friends from my church and cyberspace as well. We all need friends to get through this earthly life. God has provided so much for me and no doubt that He will never leave me nor forsake me.
