Day of Small Things

Day of Small Things Encouragement for Christian women, giving them a vision of the great things God has in store for them as they are faithful in the day of small things.

Carmon Conover is the hostess for this page. In the parable of the soils, Jesus warned about "those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not mature" (Luke 8:14). We don't want to be those immature women who do not have ears to hear! Instead, let's encourage one another to love AND good works, and be that good soil

where the word of God takes root: "...they are those who, hearing the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with patience" (Luke 8:15).

Are you grieving one of these types of losses? Be kind to yourself and allow time to process it. The effects of this grief will feel very much like the grief that follows death.

And that’s A-OK.

This giant stressor we are all experiencing DOES affect our mental health. If you are noticing symptoms, even in the “surviving” column, find ways to take care of yourself, whether it’s talking to family or trusted friends, or seeking mental health support.

Are you thriving or just surviving? The COVID pandemic has created a concurrent crisis around mental health. We all need to be taking care of each other, but that includes ourselves. This is especially true for healthcare workers. This site from the Colorado Healthcare Ethics Resource Group offers information and resources to help address the anxiety and stress that can, if left unaddressed, deteriorate into crisis. https://cohcwcovidsupport.org/

Be patient with them.

This is how to do it.

My 5yo told me that she ruined everything. I’ll be honest, I felt that one in my gut. I’d just put her to bed early and without dessert for fighting with her sister, screaming, and a number of other broken house rules. I was standing outside her room, trying to be stern. But then she made that comment, and it seemed so advanced for her age, and I couldn’t help but go back in her room and hold her.

I told her that she didn’t ruin everything, and that she just had a bad day, and we’ll try again tomorrow. I told her I still loved her. I know as parents we are supposed to lay down the law. Perhaps I’m a sucker. Perhaps I got played. But in that moment, I couldn’t imagine leaving my little girl alone with what she was feeling. She cried into my chest. I held her, and she held me. And by the time she was calm again, she asked me one more time to get out of bed, and I told her “no.” Then she asked for just a little dessert, and I told her “no” again.

As parents we are supposed to teach our children consequences. But that doesn’t mean we can’t comfort them as they work through those consequences. Eventually she stuck out her lip, accepted that I wasn’t going to change my mind. Then I tucked her in and as I kissed her forehead, she said, “I love you, daddy.”

“I love you too, kiddo.”
