The Rat Race

It seems these days that everyone has an extremely busy schedule. The ceaseless obligations we feel like we have to fulfill to fit in with society. Whether a working mother or a stay at home mom the pressure to volunteer for a good cause or join the PTA is overwhelming. This generation has no idea what slowing down means. Multi-tasking is the norm. Caffeine is the major source of energy. Power drinks are replacing rest. The need to keep up is a constant battle. Leaving us exhausted and at the end of the day we have very little left to give to our own family. This creates tention in the home and makes life very hard. Our children seem unruely, disrespectful and downright disobedient. Our husbands tend to work more hours hoping to get away from all the chaos at home which in turn makes us even more unhappy. Leading to depression we feel like we can't win. Jesus tell us that there is hope. In Matthew 11:28-30 it says "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." My prayer for all mothers is that you will take time to get in the Word. Tap into the source of life. God's promises are eternal and meant for you.
