sometimes I am really weary at the end of a day…
…at times motherhood, keeping a home, and the full life we have leaves me exhausted.
there are days it’s tempting to think this phase of life with little ones will go on forever…
and then I download pictures from my camera and gratitude for these days (though tiring at times) wells up in my heart. I know the time is fleeting, and scenes like these will soon be only memories :: and so I give thanks…
for his wonder of the outdoor world
a little girl learning new sporting skills
and gaming skills
for his intensity :)
for toys strewn about the yard
for diapers that need changing and baby—okay toddler—legs
for a doting auntie and uncle!
for sacked out little ones in the car
and for creative messes that need to be cleaned up…
:::
For all of this Lord, I am grateful. One can lose sight and vision in the day-to-day of a home full of activity, noise! and the many needs of the little people around me. I pray that You restore my sight and cause me to really see from heaven’s perspective. Remind me of the eternal nature of what is happening in our home.
Let me see You at work….
Amen!
