Woman`s World
\nBy Judy Haralson<\/p>\n

[Judy Haralson is a psychotherapist living in Austin, Texas]<\/p>\n

\nMy world is made up of Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays,
\nThursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, Mondays
\nWashing, ironing, cooking, cleaning, churching
\nMending clothes, turning down radios, wiping noses and bottoms
\nAnswering telephones and door bells
\nLetting dogs in and letting dogs out
\nTaking children to and bringing children from
\nFixing food, making beds, mopping floors
\nRejoicing, crying, listening<\/p>\n

Rejoicing with Jill when her cat has kittens
\nCrying with Brad when his kite string breaks
\nListening to David`s tales of Sesame Street<\/p>\n

I must communicate with my husband
\nShare with my neighbors
\nEmpathize with my friends
\nOrganize myself, my home, my children, my husband, the women at the church
\nOn and on, endlessly, my world goes<\/p>\n

\nThen Jesus steps into the uttermost parts of my world and speaks
\nHe speaks through little mouths, teary eyes, hurt looks
\nHe speaks through closed doors, trusting hands, unuttered wishes
\nHe speaks through David as we make a cake
\n"Me help, Mommy, me help"<\/p>\n

"David, if you wouldn`t help so much I could get it done a lot better, in half the time"
\nThen I listen as the great God says to me
\n"Judy, if you just wouldn`t help so much I could get it done
\nbetter, in half the time"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
