Does it ever feel to you that things are never ending. I was thinking about just now that housework NEVER ends, whining never ends and being busy with daily life never ends. But the good news is that God's love never ends or our eternal life with Him.
I have spent most of the day jumping on my girls when they trail me EVERY where I go or mommy this and mommy that. But then I also remember that that is what God wants from us. To follow him everywhere and never stop asking him things or for his help. It is ironic that it annoys us, but not God. I know it is our sin nature and Satan's little digs, but still it is ever so hard to reember that when you are worn out.
So I encourage you today and the next that everytime you yell at the kids or scream at your husband for not doing what you want that minute to remember that God is always there and to rest all your cares and strife in HIm.
I know that this is a VERY hard area in my life to deal with, but necessary. I have seen the days that I am most upest that especailly Rachel will start to go "arrrhhh" at Brooke and me. SO I know the impact it has on them and need to remember to ask God always for his sweet mercy and quiet of spirit even on the hard days.
Now look at those sweet faces and know that I am truly blessed even though sometimes it is hard to understand that.
Brooke can actually make her own bed now YEAH! I let them pick out their own sheets and a new pillow each so they were even more excited. Brooke has yellow ones and Rach has white with purple and pink stripes. It has been so much fun to watch and remember my own bunks when Sarah and I were growing up.
