A Mom Just Like You.....My Journey through Life with 8 Children....
• Mar. 2, 2009 - Winter Bouquets........
Winter Bouquets......
At the end of the day I sometimes feel like.......
I have given and given so much of my life......
But please be so kind as to let me explain.....
The root cause is self pity, only I am to blame.....
I know the purpose that I was created for, was to be a loving wife and a caring mother......
And I do not deny, that it is in those two roles that I do find my truest of pleasure.......
But I cannot deny that I am fully human, just like the rest of you......
And there are many a nights I feel so worn down as many of you also do.....
It is during those times, when I allow my self pity, to tear my mind and soul in two.....
Then I go to bed tired, dangerously unfocused feeling sorry for myself and so blue.....
No longer in sync......
Do my mind and soul think........
So I awake the next morning so confused......
What used to be clear, is no longer there, a blur are my own goals and views......
I know I'm in trouble when my mind and heart fumble and I start feeling I can no longer go on.....
So I get on my face pleading forgiveness and grace for the sinful thinking I awoke with that morn.....
In order to give myself, more time with the Lord, I send all my children out to play......
He lovingly renews my perspective on life, no longer confused, He has repaved my way......
So I call out to my children to come back inside so together we can start our fresh new day....
With a smile on her face, filled with so much love and grace, specially hand picked for me, as beautiful as can be I am handed a small but very precious winter bouquet.......
Thankful for God's Grace and the many blessings from above......
I am overwhelmed and blessed by all my childrens acts of love......
With a smile on my face and a song of praise in my heart......
A full and busy day I face, my heart overjoyed and more than ready to start........
So I quietly thank my Lord, as I recall my precious and many blessings......
My heart now fully content and overjoyed, it says within itself, that yes, it is all so very worth it and no longer is it second guessing......
Dearest Lord,
Your love and patience never cease to amaze me! You are truly a loving, forgiving and patient God. I thank you so much that you are always so forgiving and ready to hug me and put me back on track! Thank you for all my blessings and for never leaving me or forsaking me! In Jesus name I pray Amen~
