Labels

Sometimes we spend so much time focusing on labels that we forget we are stereotyping and boxing people in.  The worst is when we box ourselves into some stereotypical label.  For instance, why be labeled as just a mom and wife, or just a husband and dad, when we are created for so much more?  I am a wife and mom.  I am also a person who God put into my kids lives to encourage and teach them.  I am my husband's wife, but also his friend.  When I label myself, I box myself in.  I limit who God created my to be.  That my friends is not good.  How much joy in life are we missing out on because we boxed ourselves in?  Just some food for thought.  Oh, and I am not one for staying in a box.  Much love, many blessings.  Remember God loves and likes you.
