This mama’s got legs
I looked out the front window this evening right before closing the shades when I saw a dangling spider working furiously off the edge of our porch. I stepped outside to get a closer look and saw her bulging belly - how tired she must be carrying such a heavy load. But not once did she stop and complain. She just went up and down, back and forth in a smooth rhythm - with no encouragement, no assistance. It was just her against the world. I smiled at her and went inside and looked around at my four children. I am not facing a time crunch like the mama spider but I must not waste a moment preparing them for the world. I, too, was made for this job, and must not waste a minute.
