Self-Care

[Editor’s Note: Another check-in from one of SUMC’s newest friends; again with a response to one of our Lenten Devotion writing prompts…]

“At this point my life, here’s a change that God may be calling me to accept and act upon:”

…taking time out to care for myself better.

For a large part of my life, I have spent much of my time caring for others … as a wife, mother, daughter, friend, in law … I have given of my time and talents for the greater good, and have (mostly) not regretted doing that.

I feel that God is tapping me on the shoulder now and telling me to slow down, rest and reflect, and then build on other relationships that are still for the greater good –- and are ones that make me an even better person.

Thank you, God, for leading me and helping me to see new perspectives.
