Thoughtful Motherhood

Watching Them Play

The little ones are bouncing around on the trampoline, haphazardly bumping into one another and laughing hysterically as they fall down. I can see them through the living room window. I know I need to be out there with them, and not sitting in here on the computer.

Sometimes its just easier to send them to play.

I'm tired again today and a bit overwhelmed at the state of the house. I'm wondering when God will get sick of hearing me say "I can't do this." I wonder when He'll stop replying "Yes, you can. I'm here to help."  The Bible says that He'll never stop replying that way. But sometimes I still wonder. Oh woman of little faith.

favorite memory

My favorite childhood memories were visiting my girlfriend's family where love reigned. There were messes every where from living room to kitchen, but I have to strain to remember them because I never cared about them. Her family was full of so much love and a happy atmosphere that I used to try and sleep at night dreaming that I wish I could be adopted by them. I try to remember those times from my childhood when I face messes in my house.
