Sleep
Sleep restores us, reinvigorates us, makes us whole from injury and disease. With a new baby, even a well behaved one, I'm learning to live with less sleep. Even though sleep does so many amazing things for me, I cannot afford to have it be my highest priority. Sometimes we put our own needs behind another's need. Is that what defines a stewardship?

Being a parent (or a steward) means putting your needs behind the people in your family and the people you love...but it also means acknowledging your own needs and balancing them with the needs of other because you can't be a very good parent/steward if some of your needs aren't being met as well as other's needs...
ReplyDeleteHope you can get more and more sleep...I know I'm a mess when I'm tired.
