Today was one of those days when all the kids are finally in bed, and I just take a deep breath and wonder how I made it through the day! Parenting can be so exhausting sometimes. I know that it will all pay off one day. I can not wait to see the fruit. In the mean time, I am asking God to give me rest!
Tonight I think back to this morning when I woke up and it seems SO long ago, but at the same time the day seems like such a blur. Sometimes I wish the time could just stop so I could enjoy it a little more rather than the day flying by so fast. In our house there just never seems to be a quiet or a slow moment. Well except right now, when everyone is asleep except me!
It took me literally and hour and 20 minutes to make dinner tonight, and all we were having was fish sticks, boxed mac and cheese and peas (can't tell dad is out of town can you??) Between breaking up and talking through numerous fights, passing out reminders about using kind words, fixing someones toy that broke, or telling someone that we walk not run in the house for the 25th time today, even a task like making dinner can seem almost impossible.
I have to admit I did not even read my Bible today. :-( Maybe that is where I went wrong. I enjoyed my weekend with Bob, and then decided to sleep in today letting Brady be my alarm clock. Not a very good testament to seeking Him first. Thank goodness tomorrow is a new day.
Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28
