As all of these thoughts ran through my head, the Lord gently reminded me of the reality - these are good Catholic women, and good friends. This is an amazing opportunity for fellowship, and a fun time out for our kids. The life I lived in my teenaged years, the community I had that was so integral to my faith life, started out this way, with the women I look to and admire as matriarchs of good holy families sitting around as young moms, with young babies, and making the effort to get together. I knew once I was in town, it would be worth it.
So I decided we could do school this afternoon. I messaged my friend. I let her know I might be a little late, to take the pressure off myself (I was in fact, a lot late!) And I was so blessed by the time we spent together. I even got the kids to mass, which the playgroup was conveniently organized around so that we could attend. We played, we prayed, and we were uplifted.
I find as I look back on my life these days, that nothing is easy. But some things are worth making time for. Maybe I don't need to move mountains to go shopping, or watch the latest episode of my favorite show. But some good, quality Mom time with Moms who love Jesus? I can't think of any better reason to get this little train in gear.
