I'm really going to start trying hard to get back to posting here daily. I dropped off for sometime now as I'm sure you have all noticed.
It seems that from time to time I just don't do so well, I get frustrated with how things have turned out for me and then sooner or later I get a kick in the pants and realize how much I have in comparison to so many others. I wish this low times wouldn't come but I believe it is God's way of having me walk through the valley and learn to lean on him and not try to solve or fix things without Him.
I did way more than I should have today and when I finally get laid down I'm going to find that my body hates me with a passion, but the things needed to be done and my beautiful husband can not be expected to do it all.
Then once I was about to sit down and call it a day our daughter wanted to play a game of ladder ball. I can't hit the broad side of a barn but the game is so fun. I really should have told her I'd had enough for one day but how can you say no. She is a kid and being that she goes through all the normal things kids go through so she is not perfect but I have to tell you she is an amazing child. She is learning to cook and can with me, she can run the washer and dryer, she can clean a bathroom better than most adults I know. Most of this she has learned because of my situation so she can help out around the house. On top of all that she has a real interest in the garden and how things grow and how we can get our own seeds from the plants so we don't have to buy them the following year. And school! the child amazes me, she might bring home a B once or twice in a year but most of the times its straight A's. So I have a hard time saying no to a child who works so hard to help out (most days) and does so well in school.
Whatever pain or discomfort I have tomorrow will be worth it. And everytime I feel tha twinge or stab I will be reminded that I took time out at the end of my day to play a game with her and hubby. I'll remember her laughing and teasing and how happy that 30 minutes of fun with mom and dad meant to her. It meant a lot to me as well
I hope everyone is doing well, take care and most of all God Bless!
