Have you ever felt like you were drowning in life because you had so much to do and never had time for your family? I have wanted to be a good mother to my children, and life keeps getting in the way—until now.
As I began to pray, I started to see how the Lord had blessed me with a wonderful family. While I am having a hard time balancing my life, He shows me that I have a lot to be thankful for. No matter what the pain I may feel, the stress of homework I’m trying to get through, my children running off at the mouth-I’m grateful for the group of blessings in my life that God saw fit to entrust me with.
As I think about that, it makes me feel like I have gifts in my life that I need to take excellent care of. God gave me these blessings, and I need to first give them back to Him for Him to use them as He pleases, and then, I need to nurture them in a way that they grow up to know who they are in Christ. I cannot take for granted any longer the moments I have with my children because I do not know how much longer I have with them, and I must take each precious moment and make them memorable.
I have been stressed out, and I sometimes wanted to send my children away because I had been so tired from the busyness I continued to pile onto myself. Still, God is showing me that time waits for no man, and if I don’t show up in their lives now, they won’t remember the “good times” because there will not be any to remember (tears flowing).
