“I think it’s important to try to be present with whatever it is you’re doing. And if you can’t be present, take a break.” So said Emily Griffin who is an American author. Hers are important words for each of us.
In this Pandemic there are couples holed up for months and exhausted with child care. Taking a break timely can be difficult under such constraints. What a great salve are the vaccines as they will reduce the parents’ solitude and increase the number of their children in person at school.
But we all have our moments and words we regret. By the grace of God may we become more aware of those golden opportunities to take a break.
