WOW...God is good!

Throw a few kids into the mix of that email...and whammo, there's our house during the day!

I decided to post this today, after my glorious morning (it last about 30 minutes), because for some reason the day didn't go as smoothly as I had planned.

Here are some of the reasons that I think may contribute to the way my house funtions:

1. God is just putting these trials in my day, just to see how I handle each situation. If I handle them correctly I may get a prize...God in His majesty already knows how I will handle them, so He doesn't feel threatened to offer something grand as my prize.

2. My day isn't hectic enough, so my kids decide to throw a few crumbs on the floor during lunch so I will have to mop the floor for the 4th time today. Let me tell you though, when I say "a few crumbs", what I mean iiiiis, every single last smidgen of anything they have left on their plate, so that when I sweep it up I have to fill the dust pan up TWICE! I'm wondering if they are trying to tell me something?

3. God is punishing me for what I did to my parents when I was younger and is getting a kick out of watching me go through the same thing. Saying, See this is why I said, Children obey your parents in the Lord for this is RIGHT!

Please, forgive me if you think I am mocking the Lord in any way, because I am totally not trying to do that. He knows what's going on and I talk to Him all day about it, so it's nothing new for Him. I think it's funny because, I pray for patience and strength and wisdom to get through each day with my children and He knows what He's doing when he puts these certain things in our day! It's up to me now to make the decision on how to handle this chaos. Thank you Lord for loving me and my family and for keeping us healthy and safe enough to have crazy days!
