"Pleeease
give Mommy a minute." Oh, how I remember the
many times I said those words when my children were little...
When
I was trying to prepare dinner, and they would begin to wrestle over that one
Lego man (when there were 30 more in the bucket!). "Boys, please
give me a minute!"
When
I was trying to grab a quick shower and I would hear crying on the other side
of the shower curtain. "Honey, please
give Mommy a minute."
When
I was trying to put another load of clothes in the washer, and two little boys
would tug at my leg saying they really needed
a snack. "Boys, please give me a minute!"
Those precious minutes
that a mom needs...
Our sons have grown into wonderful men. I talk with them often.
But they live
across the country from us.
And sometimes...

When
I see the beautiful color-turned leaves, I’d love to have just a minute together to enjoy
them.
When
I’m taking a walk and see a goofy looking dog, I’d love just a minute to share
a good laugh.
When
I’m reading something that I know would be of interest, I’d love just
a minute to talk it over with them.
Those precious minutes
that a mom wants...
I
think now about the countless times that I go to the Lord throughout the
day...a continual dialogue really. I’m
thankful that, in His busy-ness, I’ve never heard Him sigh and say, “Mary, please
just give me a minute”.
I think about the many times...
He
would love to point out the beauty around me if I would only give Him a minute.
He
would love to take me to a deeper understanding of His rich word, if I would
only give Him a minute.
He
would love to heal that deep soul-hurt, If I would only give Him a minute.
Those precious minutes
that He yearns to spend with me...
I pray that I would be more awake to the sweet minutes
my heavenly Father wants to spend with me.
Those precious minutes...
"I
love the Lord because he hears and answers my prayers.
Because he bends down
and listens, I will pray as long as I have breath!"
Living in His grace!
Mary
I'd love to hear from you!
I sometimes link with these delightful ladies!
