One of my dear friends enjoyed a transcendent-ordinary moment of motherhood the other day. It was an average day, but when her daughter found a new game, she took that opportunity to enjoy her daughter instead of focusing on what she needed to get done right! that! minute! (Ten guesses what I tend to do!)
You can read all about the completely adorable game her daughter invented, and how my friend embraced it. Elisa concludes:
It struck me that this sort of thing is exactly what makes motherhood worthwhile in the day to day ordinariness of routine: taking those fleeting opportunities to love.
And I couldn’t say it better.
How can you celebrate the ordinary by taking the opportunity to love today?
