Yesterday as I was reading a bedtime story to my children, I learned the true wisdom of this last Chesterton quote. I was dramatizing Corduroy the way I used to act for highschool/college plays, Which used to be one of my favorite things to do. The question is: why should I put less excellence in my readings for a few little minds as I used to for crowds? And all of a sudden I felt the pleasure of God. His ideas of success are different than our world's.
Lord, I want so much to mother out of freedom and joy and after a trying season of just putting my head down and trying to just get through the day without anyone at the doctor's, I want to learn to mother, not with duty but with passion.
