A Time for Everything By: Keneesha Saunders-Liddie There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens. - Ecclesiastes.3:1 During my pregnancy, I didn't crave anything. I wasn't bloated or uncomfortable or any of the common idiosyncrasies that pregnant women usually complained about. The only thing I really suffered with was being extremely hot. Despite it all, I had a wonderful pregnancy. When my daughter was born, she was well-behaved and a perfect angel… until she turned 1 and a half. Wow! If only I had known what was coming; I would've tried to prepare, if I could. Right now, one of the hardest things to manage is going out in public. When we go to church or the store, she inevitably throws a tantrum. I can't help but feel like it's my fault. As much as I want to feel guilty and embarrassed, I'm reminded that my child isn't perfect, and her sinful nature is within. I withhold what she wants because it's usually something that's not good for her. And even if it is good for her, there is a lesson to be learned about not getting everything we want as soon as we want it. Regardless of my convictions, I feel the judgment weighing on me. Usually, I'd look around at the many stares and shaking heads and wonder what to do and I recall how many times I was the judgmental onlooker staring and shaking my head when I was childless. This is when I'm reminded of our scripture for today. Ecclesiastes 3:1- There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.   CONTINUE READING →
