Hard Mommy Days
Yesterday was a really hard mommy day. Actually, it's been a hard mommy week. I'm sure my stress/worries are spilling over into the behavior of my children. They have an uncanny way of sensing when something is a little 'off'. So I'm trying to remind myself to pray A LOT throughout today - and measure my every thought by Christ's truth. Our problems/deadlines/worries seem MUCH smaller, when we think about how BIG God is!
I walked out on the porch to wave goodbye to my DH and my eldest son en route to kindergarten this morning. The temperature is a gorgeous 75 degrees - such a blessing after a much hotter than normal summer. The song, "Great is Thy Faithfulness" immediately popped into my mind, so I started singing. What a great way to start a morning!
---
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;There is no shadow of turning with Thee;Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.
Great is Thy faithfulness!Great is Thy faithfulness!Morning by morning new mercies I see.All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,Sun, moon and stars in their courses aboveJoin with all nature in manifold witnessTo Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
Pardon for sin and a peace that endurethThine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

Ann, I thought the same thing when I stepped outside this morning. What a gorgeous day! I worked outside for half an hour and felt so much better.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
I'm sorry you had a hard mommy day/week! I was reminded this morning too, when I opened the curtains & the warm sunshine poured in, that His mercies are new every morning & how thankful I am for that!
Sometimes He calms the storm, sometimes He calms the child. Hang in there!
It is so easy for us to let our feelings, concerns and stresses bleed through to our life and our children do notice. They are very observant. God sent you a wonderful gift with that song and beautiful morning. I hope things are going better now.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. That poem by Rudyard Kipling was one I hadn't heard before, but I wanted to keep on hand.
