Perhaps this could apply to vocation,
for those at a juncture of choosing.
Or maybe a bridging of each :: which one needs my attention this moment? how can I balance the two?
Whatever the response, if you have little ones at home still…
choose the kids.
If they are growing up quick, teen years passing — even more so…
choose the kids.
Even if they’re up-out-of-your-house and empty nest days a reality…
remember to choose the kids.
Today — offer a practical demonstration of your support, your love, your commitment to their well-being. Regardless of age, we all need affirmation, we all need a dose of confidence…
We all need grace.
Pause the work for a moment :: for a day :: for a season,
and choose the kids.
{a gentle weekend to all :: next week, more reflections on attending to this practice}
