6:30 am it’s a regular wake up time for me today. My body just does it naturally, since I nursed my first child. After attending the Mother’s Day class with many of you the other night. I went to my ‘go to’ piece of PIES, intellect and listed to Brene’ Brown’s Daring Greatly, chapter 3 Understanding and combating Shame while I packed my bags for my morning flight. Before the second flight, the woman sitting next to me at the gate was a retired CEO for major engineering company, who now raises funds for free children’s clinics in her area. What surprised me was she reached into her bag, pulled out her business card and said, “I hope we can stay in touch.” That was a really nice surprise. After she walked away, I thought wow there’s the E in PIES! Which I received whole heartedly. So I thought OK if God is gonna give me the E maybe I should add a P before the next flight. One of the things she shared was “the importance of being authentic” in her world. So when she left I put my earbuds in and opened up my Tai Chi app. Which is not only calming, but it stretches my wounded shoulder. And I stretched for 10 minutes. Yes I got a couple of ‘what are you doing’ looks but I also got some ‘well that’s not a bad idea’ looks. The rest of the gate did not care what I was doing. (Thank the Lord.) So I got on the plane feeling a little more solid and a little more comfortable. So this morning is Sunday, THE “M” DAY. I just reread the Mother’s Day material from Catherine. I am going to get my coffee and and meet God in my study material for next Saturday. Expectant of the S for my PIES. Many times when I come to God’s word, even with a heavy heart. It is better than not coming at all.
