At drop off last Tuesday, I was a ball of mixed emotions. Sad my little girl was growing up too fast, and that the slow summer days were over. I was looking for other moms to connect with at drop-off who were feeling the same way, but we all just stood around as if we didn't know what to say to one another.
Making connections with other moms can be a challenge for some of us. It takes a leap, to just say, "Hi, how are you doing today?" Especially when faced with moms who are looking at the ground, or staring at their phones, or just plain zonked out from lack of sleep.
I encourage you this week to say hi to a mom you don't know, and make small talk the best you know how. They may even be feeling that same urge to connect.
Dear God, help me be a woman who gives grace and friendship,
and help me find connections for my soul in my everyday community.
