Character Required

**Before you begin reading, sit down, breathe normally and be quiet for 1 minute.**

    Character Required. Nothing has required more of my character than being a mom. Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of other things that require character. For me being a mom has required the most. The little everyday puzzles, drama and decisions. The constant need to be needed and lack of down time. The accumulation of the demands on our bodies, our hearts and our minds adds up to a great and consistent test of our characters. We are weary, without any reserves left and the greatest is being demanded of us.
    What in your life requires the most of your character? What relentless person, people or situations continue to make demands on you?
    All the more reason to sit with God and listen. Talk to Him, listen to Him and receive from Him.

**Sit quietly again for as much time as is available to you.**
