Take time to bless a Mum

Well, after work, I do nothing but rush home, to take care of my family. Sometimes I know I can be in such a hurry to the point that I wonder if it’s really healthy to even drive in that state.

Sometime back, I left as usual and I was rushing home but I could sense a friend of mine was in need to talk. I looked at my watch and I thought, this can wait, I am not sure I want to talk now. But I felt compelled to talk to her and so I did.

I gave her an ear. We ended up talking for almost 30 plus minutes, but I must mention that I kept looking at my watch and wondering how my kids were doing at home and how I am wasting taking time talking and talking  instead of going home.

All the same, I gave her the heart and the ear she needed. She was rather in distress.

Having done all I could have done and said, she later sent me a text message that read like this

“Thanks so so much for sharing with me how to extend grace and love, just like our Lord Jesus. I am going to pray tonight for that grace and love and give my support, thanks for giving me and ear and counseling me; sometimes you need the shoulder of a dear friend. You were God sent, and please receive double blessings for assisting me”.

I was God sent? I was so rebuked! I was rushing home to see the kids that I am sometimes obsessed thinking   about and would have missed to bless someone’s life. When I got home, my hubby had been there like two hours ago and was just playing with the kids. Needless to say-God would take care of them, He always does.

I pray that I can balance my life and all that life has so that I do not have to miss out to bless others who may need a shoulder to lean on.

Take time to bless a Mum!
