I carried ointment with me today because yesterday somebody's mommy forgot to put diaper rash ointment on the little lady and her shorts were showing the diaper rash as she ran up for a snack.
As a long-term infant care person, I had an instant impulse to get diaper cream on that exposed bottom immediately.
Only, this wasn't the infant room and this was a college woman walking in obvious pain. What do you do as a concerned mother, when you see that self-care was not experienced and that at least covering the rash with a longer short might have been appropriate? I was surprised she wasnt scratching it obviously, because it was so enflamed.
I truly love the fact that it is no longer my responsibility to apply ointment to the irritants of these nearly grown people. Just get their tummies happy and set them on track for the beauty of the day.
Food is a ministry. Eating is a beautiful enjoyment that God sent to us. I am still learning how to really enjoy food and eating. College is the place to begin. When I was in college I was always hungry. I had a 1$ food budget and then I would have to walk home. "From Hunger" I lived on the sugar high's of candy, because it was cheap and quick. I crashed from high to high. Walking 5 or 6 miles home from school seemed a small price to pay for eating your travel money. I love the feeling of reminiscing those easy days and carefree moments of life.
The warmup is always lighter than the match.
I am soooo grateful for Pastor Martin saying that to us in his preaching. He said look at how God dealt with you in your youth and expect him to raise the bar for you to jump higher. He is a coach like that!
He has over and over and over; raised the bar of jumping. I must decrease! He must increase! Can you serve? Serve this! Serve this! Serve this!
And now?
