One of my dear friends once said that May was worse than Christmas when it came to the calendar. She is so right! So many things going on in life and in church. How many things could we pack into a Sunday I wonder? Teacher appreciation, graduations, confirmations, commissionings, endings of this, startings of that, and on top of everything Pentecost is just around the corner. See, we are tired for a reason.
That being said, it is also one of the most exhilarating times of the year! This is Easter Season. This is the time where we remember the resurrection and can sing all the songs that make our hearts leap for joy!
As a parent I think it is important to help our children with the stuff that comes this time of year. We should explain to them about why it is so busy. The life of the church is ALIVE! (I feel like I need some five-alive when I write tonight). Anyway, I digress (that would be the tired part). It may help to let your children and family pray over the church calendar and focus on 1-2 things. Selfishly, I say start with worship and Sunday school and go from there. If we can center our families with Christ, then the rest ought to go pretty well :)
Have a wonderful week and remember a cup of coffee and a prayer is sometimes just what a worshipping parent needs. You have mine for sure!
