Small Things, Great (Intentional) Love
Mindfulness may be trendy, but I prefer intentionality. Where mindfulness hearkens back to Eastern or new-age philosophy, intentionally speaks to something much more. If I am intentional in my deeds and my words, I am focused on my purpose:- Am I keeping my house clean out of pride? Or am I keeping it clean out of a desire to provide an ordered space for my family?
- Am I exercising in an endless battle to lose vanity pounds? Or do I work out to keep my heart healthy for my children?
- Am I teaching my children at home because I’m convinced the schools are worthless? Or am I homeschooling because I love being with my children, and it’s where God has led me right now?
- It ensures I do what I do out of love, not out of disorder.
- It brings me closer to Mary, the Blessed Mother, whose every action stemmed from the love of her son.
- It encourages me to meditate on the holiness of everyday life, not the significance of a single moment.
