Many times a day on many days of the week, I complain to myself and to my children and to my patient husband that my life is constantly being interrupted by children, chores, leaky refrigerators, laundry, and cleaning up toys. But really, all these interruptions make up my life and days like these, when I quietly blog on a laptop while my son watches Thomas the Train on Netflix, I praise God for giving me a family who I can love and loves me. I thank Him for healthy bodies and appliances that make my life more convenient. And on days when I fantasize about my days pre-babies, the Lord humbles me by a hug and "I love you very much Mama".
so true. God's blessings are abundant but it is so hard to remember them when we are in the trenches of mothering young kids.
