Thankfulness...

So life has been rather crazy around here lately. Baby O has been sick with whatever junk is going around leaving Nash and I splitting the night shift, and leaving me with a pitiful baby all day. And a case of the grumpies. I am trying my best to do, as I preach, and no matter how tired I am still have a happy heart with whatever I do. That just because I had a rough night, doesn't mean everyone else needs to have a rough day.
This is easier said than done. I have done fairly well, only having one exasperated "aaahhh just listen to me everyone!!" moment, but I think to myself, our Maker is so much more patient than I. It is crazy, this is a constant daily battle for us Momma's. I am always humbled by what a much wiser Momma once shared with me... Though what you do may seem trivial, or you may get frustrated, do each daily task as though you were doing it for your Lord. Would you gripe about the dishes if you knew your Lord were coming for a visit? Would you complain about your child's behavior or guide them to the right way... I think about this almost daily.
And now as I sit her in a quiet house I am so very thankful for what the Lord has done in my life and I am excited to see what He will continue to do. Why so quiet you wonder.... no they kiddos aren't all in bed, Nash came home, seeing what a day it had been and grabbed them all up and said we are going for a ride. When the kids asked where, he said to craziville!
Looking back it is amazing to see God's great plan, how he placed our family where we would need to be, even as a child to meet my future spouse, how protected each pregnancy even though I was on medication, and I am excited to see what God will continue to do with us.
