Well, as a married woman I am very blessed to have the help of my husband as we travel through life; this week he has been on a trip and so I am utterly aware of all the hats that I wear. Let’s see…I am a wife, mother, sister, daughter, friend, mentor, housekeeper, cook, nurse, referee, manager, pastor’s wife, hairdresser, princess……..(just kidding on the last one except when I am playing dress-up with my kids). So what is missing? Why do we look at our lives martyristically (yes, I think I made up this word) and focus so much on WHAT we do instead of WHO we are? Really, if we would just realize that we are children of God, then everything else would just fall into place. I mean, shouldn’t the hat, “child of God” be the huge sombrero on our head that everything else just fits under? Hmmm….so maybe we need to look at the size of the hat rather than the number of hats that we wear. If being a child of God encompasses all of who we are, isn’t this the hat that we should wear with every outfit and for all occasions?

I absolutely love you. You are an amazing woman and you mean more to me than you will ever know. You do wear all these hats and whether you know it or not, you wear them all well. I am so very blessed to have you as my wife. I love you.
But I thought women like having many hats
I can absolutely relate – I hear people (sometimes myself) saying I am one person at work …and another at home. If we always thought of ourselves as Gods child – we wouldn’t have that problem.
Good call

This is a great reminder. I love it. We so often focus on all the things we do instead of who we are, and we WORRY about the hat we have to put on in each situation, yet if we just encompass being children of God, everything else will fall into place where it should be
Thanks for the thought/reminder
