My two year old is knocking at the door wanting me to let him out - TopicsExpress



          

My two year old is knocking at the door wanting me to let him out and my four year old is cuddling in my bed watching cartoons. All is right in the world for at least the first couple of minutes. Then as the day goes by I find myself very short tempered and preoccupied. All day today I have felt as though I am a failure,Im not enough, I cant keep up. I have been focusing on how the Proverbs 31 women did it and it feels so unattainable. Then I read back to two years ago and this is what I find... Two years ago- Today is Monday. I am awakened by the sounds of my five month old cooing and my two year old knocking on his door saying Knock knock, come in mommy. My day begins and before my feet hit the floor, I take three deep breaths and reach over to my night stand. I feel around to find my pearl necklace, place it on my neck, then head off to start my day. Heading to the bathroom to wash my face, I look in the mirror messy hair and all, I see the pearls and have to laugh. This will be a good day I think to myself. Throughout the day I walk by the mirror and catch a glimpse of the pearls and I find myself with a smile. I had a thought, We are like pearls. God is holding us in His hand and perfecting us. He knows what He is holding. Something-someone of value! Just like the pearls I am something- someone of value! Overall today was a good day. I found myself with joy that has not been there in a long time. I am anxious to see what the next thirty days will hold. As I daily wake up and put on my pearl necklace, it is almost as if I will daily choose to put on joy. I will choose to be a lady, the best mom and wife I can be and moreover I will choose happiness in my everyday life. Tonight I take off my pearls, and lay them on my night stand. Although they are not around my neck, the promise that I AM of value will be close to my heart tonight! Two years later I am once again taking off my pearls and reflecting on the promise that I am of value and know that I am still a work In progress.
