It is such a beautiful day here, the weather is amazing, too bad my allergies don’t let me enjoy it much L The boys are all out with “Papa” and “Papi” (Troy’s dad) trying to fix our very clogged kitchen sink! Its so cute to see the boys trying to help and act like little men. Even more special for Mama is watching these three boys help their father and there grandfather! What a blessing to have a Faithful grandfather who fervently prays for them and loves them with the love of Christ!

Troy’s Dad just glows every time he sees them and when we have a new baby in the house he comes around every chance he gets!  He has such patients with them and is a wonderful encourager for me as a mother. He agrees with everything we do for our boys and appreciates that I want to be home with them. A rarity these days! He also understand there are days when I feel like throwing in the towel because I will usually call him and he brings me back to reality and reminds me to keep the Lord close and have the mind of Christ! 

In the hustle and bustle of our days we so often forget what is most important and allow our "feelings" or lack of to dictate our actions. I often have to stop myself in my tracks and quickly remind myself of my mission as a mother. Have you read the book “The Mission Of Motherhood”? It is a wonderful book and I highly recommend it! (I have read it several times) I challenge us all to take our days one moment at a time, practice the good fruits and make them a habit! The feeling of fulfillment, accomplishment in a day that has gone well and was full of love, peace and patients is so much better then the feelings and thoughts of regret, shame, disappointment and sorrow when we choose to make the wrong decisions and go it alone. There are really only two paths to take each day. We either choose to walk hand in hand with our Heavenly Father or choose to go it alone. My prayer is that I will keep my Lord close throughout my day and that “We” can take on the challenges of the day together!
