The Value of Family

As a wife and a mother sometimes life tends to slide right by you. Sometimes I hardly get all the things done that I want to. I've had to look at things a little differently lately, other wise my mind would be clustered with unsorted thoughts. Chad has been gone three times in the last couple months for work, wich means one less helping hand around the house. I am really blessed to have a wonderful husband that puts every effort into helping me when he can. Since he has been gone, I have tried figure out a way to play mommy and daddy at the same time! I do not know how single parents do it. There has been days that I have wanted to scream into a pillow, of course that's when I thought I had enough for that day. I can only wonder how single parents get when they had a bad day at work and then come home to the only thing that needs the most of their attention, their kids. Even then that parent has needs of their own, but no one else to turn to for support. Lately I have been tested by Emily. She is at this stage of being very stubborn. I know (T.T.S.P.) This To Shall Pass! The only thing I have been able to do is to pray for wisdom and patience in handling the kids, and to ask God to keep me from looking at it as situation or a negative thing. It is yet another chance to prove that He is the only way that I can truly do the things I do on a daily basis. It is possible to do all things when you know its not by your strength , but by the strength of God. I am so thankful that I have everyday to look forward to. I know no matter what comes of it, its worth every minute that I have to give as much as I can to make it a positive day. Thank you Chad for giving me this opportunity to find out that I am capable of," doing it on my own." Not that I that I want it to be regular thing. That wouldn't be my choice but, what ever is ahead of us, lets value every moment that we have together as a family.
