hard

being a mother is hard. for me at least.

there are so many moments of wonderfulness. yet i find myself too often focusing on the things that frutrate me. or the amount of things to get done. He is teaching me though. i know He is teaching me.

to look into the sweet rays of sunlight in my children and be in the present.

to allow moments not to pass. moments that i can encourage instead of discourage.

to stop, and again, ask forgiveness when too harsh a tone is used or i know they feel my impatience. to show them that mommy messes up too. and that it's okay. because God is always good. and that He always forgives. and always loves.

i'm praying that this home is a place where my kids always feel love. that even when i am disappointed in a decision made, i always forgive and i always love. just like when He is disappointed in a decision i make, He always forgives and loves me.

and i can only do this through Jesus.

help me Lord. because this is hard.
