The question at our ladies bible study today was: Do you feel good about your daily life or are you just coping? Since half the ladies still have children at home, the “just coping” replies came from them.
I'm not saying that children are bad. God forbid! They are a blessing from God. But, in today's busy world, attending to their needs while running a house is a 24/7 job.
I remember getting three kids up and off to school, driving thirty-three miles to work, and giving piano lessons before cooking supper after I got home. Those were “just coping” days.
All of us agreed, however, that a daily quiet time of bible study and prayer helps to cope at any stage of life. God is good.
