I read this article today and it actually made me almost cry a bit.
I love how she differentiates between Kairos moments and Chronos moments. How she talks about the hardness of the day-to-day with young children. And about how magic breaks into the confines of daily drudgery, dwells in moments in one's life that transcend time, and remind us of something bigger, greater, heavenly. Heaven is among us.
Thank you Glennon. Your projection of what you would say to a younger mama, in the future, is priceless. I particularly enjoyed that. I'll quote it here:
"It's helluva hard, isn't it? You're a good mom, I can tell. And I like your kids, especially that one peeing in the corner. She's my favorite. Carry on, warrior. Six hours till bedtime." And hopefully, every once in a while, I'll add -- "Let me pick up that grocery bill for ya, sister. Go put those kids in the van and pull on up -- I'll have them bring your groceries out."
