Oh, sure...we're supposed to blog on this after you've preached on it?! It's not bad enough that this is one of those chapters that everyone knows very well - no, I have to prove how much I was paying attention this morning.....
I resonnate with this creation story this weekend. The weather is warm, spring is here, time for new beginnings and time to sort through the chaos. (I also suppose that the type of resolutions that go along with birthdays have played into this attitude in my life this weekend.)
I have spent the weekend being BUSY - I have restained the deck, bought the family's groceries, done the family's laundry, sorted through the shed, tossed the old "kiddie toys" in favor of the soccer balls and lacrosse stick, sorted through 2 kids' worth of drawers and closets to see what fits and what we need for the warm weather. Marcus worked, too - he picked up some sticks in the back yard and helped me carry the grill on and off the deck :).
I have not been creating - but I have been caught up the newness of the season and have been sorting the chaos to create order. I have not separated the waters, but I have separated the hand-me-downs.
And as we role into the final verses of the chapter, I am reminded that power and responsibility are partners. We have power over this world, and commensurate responsibility for it. I have the "Power of MOM" - and commensurate responsibility.
