December Daily: 12/22

Snowing outside, wrapping presents and watching the thousands of Christmas movies from the DVR. The kids have been BRATTY lately (isn't that whole, "I'm telling Santa!" threat suppose to work on them this time of year??) and God literally answered my prayers when they both laid down for a nap at the same time. Do you ever have those days (or weeks!) when you just feel like everyone else has it together except for you? Every other mother has their children on a schedule - wake up at a certain time, eat nutritious meals and snacks, nap and go to bed at a certain time - while your life seems to just be continued chaos? Do you ever feel like you are drowning in dishes, laundry, and toys? Do you ever just stop and say, "Really God? Are you sure you wanted to trust ME with these children? Cause I don't have a clue what I'm doing!"?

Well, I have, and do, feel this way. Not wanting pity - just understanding. :-) Going to make some hot chocolate, take a breath and enjoy the silence.

Lord, Give me patience to handle my Blessings!
