What did you like to play as a child? Our women’s minister asked us this question. Years ago a seminary professor asked her the same question. She remembered lining her siblings up in chairs & teaching them while her mother cooked dinner. She loved to teach. Yet years of abusive relationships & discouragement ...

My {in process} Story
Oh I love this! It’s so true! Thanks for sharing this great encouragement to keep on even in the difficult and busy times!
What’s funny is that until I read your comment I didn’t even think of it like that…but yes…when we are doing what God created us to do, then we can keep doing it even in difficult & busy times.
My husband and I were just talking about this two nights ago! He asked me ( while I was busily hopping around house planning a lesson plan for the next day)… “Don’t you ever get tired of doing that? You teach most of day, and then spend time at night getting ready to teach again. Sounds exhausting!!”. I do get tired, but my response was…I love this! It comes so naturally to me to create and bridge ideas…my body is tired, but my mind and heart are not!”. Love this post!!
Thanks Jacki for sharing! I love what you said…your body is tired but your mind and heart are not. Exactly! I would love for you to be my boys’ teacher.
I had to chuckle when Peggy Banks said that, because my sister and I used to invite our neighbor friends over to do a production of “Annie” and we would promptly assign ourselves the lead roles – ha. We used to sit on our green shag carpet for hours singing with records of classic musicals. I really encourage people to think about this and how it can revolutionize your attitude toward whatever serving role you put yourself in. I cannot believe I wasted literally 17 years not singing when it used to be such a big part of my life. What was I thinking? Lesson learned!
Thanks Holly for sharing your experience! Isn’t it amazing how we can forget what we used to love to do? When do I get to hear a solo?
This is so true. I would play teacher and literally taught my brother to read when he was 4. I loved to play with my little people and my baby dolls creating elaborate family situations. I taught and I am a mommy. My brother built model airplanes and played military games and ended up in the Air Force. My kids love to play family too so I bet they will be awesome moms.
