Oops I forgot, I forgot there for a minute that I am a mom and a mom is one who drys the tears, brings order to the chaos, I forgot that it is my longing to be a mom, my ministry and yes my calling. I thought for those brief moments before and while yelling at my children that life was about me my needs and the things I want to do. Please NO ONE feel sorry for me I did enough of that today on my own, acted selfishly, yelled at my kids,cried and felt miserable, asked for forgiveness from my children and from my sweet Lord and now I am starting again.
I love fresh minutes.... it doesn't have to be a new day to start again just a fresh minute...
putting on my apron (not for any particular reason other than I like the color of this apron and color helps motivate me) and I am off to be the mom I need to be..placing my heart and soul into it again during this hour and praying God to give me the grace for the rest of the day and the rest of my life. :)
In my west corner~ screwing up and receiving forgiveness,
Off I go~ here comes that fresh minute, ;)

A tender question ...When was the last time you asked your little ones to forgive you?
Oh goodness, I definitely needed to read this. Just a few short days ago, I had this kind of day. While snuggling with my little guy before bed, I asked for his forvgiveness and prayed for the Lord's forgiveness.
ReplyDeleteI like your idea of "fresh minute." As in, "His mercies are new every minute!" God's grace to you and to all of us who are parents...
ReplyDeleteOlive, yes ~ new mercies every minute. :) Man there are days when I am starting over and over and over. So grateful for His mercy and grace.
ReplyDeleteKarla, Sounds like a very tender moment with you and your little one.:) Grace to you as you walk out love and forgiveness to your little one.
