Mothers are...
I remember my mother’s admonition: “If the shoe fits, wear it!” Who should decide whether “shoes” or jobs or images fit? That saying about “shoes fitting” was rather common. Teachers, neighbors, uncles, as well as moms, used that line. “There’s no fun in play until the work is done,” my neighbor lady said often as she saw me reading a book. And then she’d kind of sniff as she’d say. “If the show fits, wear it!” There were also sayings about what happened to people who were “Uppity,” or children who spent all heir pennies on one grand candy bar, or the inevitable trouble the wrong friends caused. These generalizations were always pointed right at something I had done, and “if the shoe fit,” I had better change my ways. I was normal — I resented being told by others that what I liked to do wasn’t okay, and I’d better change. It’s still hard to know what to do with the “oughts” of others. Should I take time to talk with a friend and be late for work? Should I spend an evening at home — resting — or go to the church business meeting? Should I take this job offer which will mean some traveling? Should I quit my job to be available to help care for my aging parents? I’m not interested in adding another set of “oughts” to any of our lives. Most of us live with plenty of them. I think it’s important that each individual decides whether the “shoe fits.” No one else really knows. In our times, I think both men and women experience uneasiness over what fits and what one should try. There are so many new opportunities and new expectations. Self-esteem seems to be the secret which helps anyone — male or female — copy with change and take advantage of opportunities. Self-esteem is feeling good about ourselves, feeling strong and able to find solutions, feeling that I am in the “right place.”l Recently, movies and TV shows have picked up on the theme of class reunions. Twenty years later, what has happened to Irmgard and Debbie and Nancy?

Who’s surprising her classmates with unexpected success or equally unexpected failures? Who’s happy and who’s miserable? I think of Julie from our class. When she was in high school, she dreamed of being a teacher — an educator. She imagined ways of teaching which would make learning fun, which would turn every child into a learner. She could be counted on to help any friend having problems. But Julie’s father was a lawyer, and he dreamed that Julie would join him in the practice of law. “We’ll have a father-daughter partnership,” he beam. By the time we graduated from high school and said goodbye to Julie, she was heading toward college and a pre-law degree. At our 20-year reunion, Julie showed up with a law degree -• and a big smile. She was back in school, working on a doctorate in education. I’ll bet that you know people like Julie too. If face, some of your friends probably followed the dreams of their parents, and later returned to their own dreams. The energizing point of reflecting on how life “fits” is the possibility for change. In my occupation, in my-,parenting, in lifestyle, in fun and hobbies, even in values and priorities, I can take a step in a new direction. Saying that “this” fits me and “that” doesn’t fit me is a first step which makes room for growth. Julie discovered,. like Jesus said, that we do not live by bread alone. -We need satisfaction in working and earning. We also need to nurture loving God and loving our neighbors.
