Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought
From Cole Moreton, a writer and presenter:聽
How are you doing with your New Year resolutions? Four days in, mine have pretty much fallen apart. Never mind going for a run, the new trainers are still in the box. But actually, I鈥檇 like to tell you a story that makes me think: 鈥楳aybe that鈥檚 okay.鈥� Back in the day, my wife Rachel gave birth to triplets. Ruby, Josh and Grace.聽
Beautiful babies, but really quite demanding! Of course they didn鈥檛 all sleep at the same time. Of course they woke each other up. Rachel bore the brunt of it, she was heroic, I just tried to do my bit. But I have to say, I struggled. Sleep deprived, angry and frustrated, I had many times when the babies were screaming or later crawling all over the place and their big brother Jacob looked horrified - as if tiny aliens had just invaded his world - and I felt like the world鈥檚 worst Dad. I just didn鈥檛 have enough time or energy or hands to meet all the needs in front of me. I couldn鈥檛 see a way through.聽
The Bible is surprisingly honest about moments like that, but it鈥檚 also encouraging. It says: 鈥淣o one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.鈥� And here鈥檚 the thing: I believe love is about doing stuff for other people as much as it is about wine and roses. Nothing says love like wiping a baby鈥檚 bum. Can you guess how many nappies we changed between us? 12,500. I鈥檇 have run away screaming myself if you鈥檇 told me that before they were born. But actually, Rachel and I just changed one nappy. Then another. And another. We just did what was possible, in the moment.聽
And somehow we made it through. The kids are 19 now. I don鈥檛 know how that happened. I do know I鈥檓 very grateful. So these days, when I don鈥檛 feel up to the task - or I鈥檝e broken all my resolutions - I do feel able to cut myself some slack. Just do the thing I can do. If not a run, then a walk. One step at a time, believing another day will come when I鈥檒l look back in delight and say: 鈥極h my goodness, how did I get here?鈥�
