So here are four of the reasons I get up each day and face the world. My sweeties. I am so thankful for this group right here. I want to forever be mindful of that.
How many times have I focused on the bad and not seen the good? Oh, don’t answer that! I caught myself the other day thinking murderously about how the children leave messes, don’t close the door, are needy, etc. My mind was a swirl- not a good one. I felt a small check and in my mind I could hear a voice saying. “Your children are a blessing in so many ways”. Thanks God.
Nobody else heard it but it came to my mind as plainly as if it were spoken. I love that. I love that God cares. He cares about our mommy hearts. The part that worries and stresses over our babies. He cares about our everyday needs. A decent shower and not being interrupted in the bathroom to name a couple. He also cares about how we treat His gifts to us. Our children.
When your mind is a mess of messes take a little time to reframe it. This is a continued effort in my world as some of us *ahem, ME!* are born with a natural skepticism. Not always a helpful trait.
As we head into fall and enjoy the cooler temps and cozy fallish things I am going to make a concentrated effort to keep my eyes on the good.
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
James 1:17
