Wait, but Why?

#10 Lenten Reflections

First off, thanks to anyone who is reading my posts. I hope it makes your day a little brighter or lighter.

I just need to be a mom for a moment. My mind generated so many questions after sitting outside in the cold watching my son play baseball and then not play. So then I started thinking of all the whys? Sometimes we think we know the answers but honestly, I’d rather jump inside people’s heads and crack that code. I guess I better just stick to having Faith with a capital F. Faith that people have reasons.

Here are my whys?

Why is my son not playing? Why is someone else’s son playing? Why am I tired constipated or angry? Why does my son’s stomach hurt again or why is my daughter over tired? Why did my friend get laid off? Why did that teacher resign? Why Trump? Why can’t someone young and spry and kind run for president? Why are people so divided when we are so much alike? Why do we call God, God – why not Hank or Hannah? Why does age bring on wrinkles and sagginess? Why do we cover ourselves with armor, ready to fight in a moment of messiness? Why am I scared of an empty nest? Why don’t I call Mom and Dad every day? Why can’t we lead with mercy and grace? Why? Why? Why?

All questions I can try and answer, but I’ll probably be wrong. So for now, I’ll just seek Serenity.

I’ll end with the Serenity Prayer:

Thanks for joining me, stay positive, and hug your family,
