Tonight I felt drawn to meet Jesus at Mass and the Eucharist. I don't often go to daily Mass, because I am a busy mom with young children. However, sometimes I just need to go. The priest talked about how to achieve peace - completely submit to God's will. That sure can be tough sometimes, particularly for me right now. Today I am a 4 day evacuee and counting due to the Los Conchas fire near Los Alamos where I live. Just another phase to my journey I was not expecting.
One nice thing about still nursing my toddler, is I can provide a little bit of normalcy for him during this time of uncertainty. Breastfeeding is always important in crisis and emergency situations, especially for newborns and babies. Imagine needing to flee your house at a certain time and needing to remember all the feeding apparatus in addition to all those special pictures and papers. It sure is a blessing and a life saver to be a breastfeeding mother.
