WARNING: Some of you may feel the need to throw me a pity party...DONT God will not allow it. Can you believe that...I cant even have a pity party. I share this not for that reason but as a lesson that I hope some may find helpful. I cleaned three houses today. I sat in traffic and barely made it on time to pick kids up from aftercare. Im not use to the traffic thing anymore so it was really annoying. The kids werent in the car 5 minutes and I just wanted silence. Why in the world would I want silence from 3 kids all talking at the same time? I got home at 615 and looked around my house with dismay all over my face. Kids asking mom whats wrong with you...I cleaned three houses Im tired I just need some time to think. I cleaned Adam up and got him ready for bed. My daily chores consist of vacuuming, washing clothes and washing dishes. Vacuuming because if I dont by the end of the week we could make two more Siberian huskies. Dishes because the dishwasher broke. I hate a sink full of dirty dishes. And of course kids and the hubby need uniforms. The whole time Im groaning Im thinking about the 3 houses to clean tomorrow and a basketball game. I finally sat down by myself at 8 to eat. I look across my kitchen and see an LSU basket sitting in a chair. The basket is for a fundraiser for a child fighting cancer. Instantly God said girl you arent getting a pity party, go take a shower and youll feel better. So that I did and I do feel better. My point is at that instant all the things I looked at as bothersome became a blessing. Im aware they are blessings but sometimes life can get overwhelming and we tend to focus on things as troubles and not blessings. Thank God I had three houses to clean. I asked God to provide and he did. Hes provided me houses to clean that are filled with amazing families that are a huge blessing to me. I hope i can be a blessing to them...I must be a jammin cleaner. My kids chatter boxes mean they have alot to tell Mom. The dirty dishes mean we have food to eat and I have two hands that work. Even the white dog hair means we have a loyal pup. All of these things are a reminder that I am home with my whole family. Im not in a hospital with Adam or any of the others for that matter. Tonight I go to bed without my pity party and thats ok. Ill be thanking God for all I have and for getting me through the day. Ill pay closer attention to the silver lining in every situation as I dont want to miss a thing.On another note please add Adam go your prayer list. Before the end of the year he will have surgery on his right foot and on his mouth. Love to all!!
