I can't believe it's the end of February!
So much has happened... so much in so many ways.
An award ceremony, a hurt horse, a lost tooth, a couple of sick kids, blood donations, snowy weather, a HUGE bill I wasn't expecting, fed cows, sold bulls, doctored calves, bottle fed calves, sleepless nights and family bonding.
The most important is the last. As you can imagine, with that laundry list of life happening, I have been one cranky, stressed momma lately... but one thing I feel lately is comfort. I feel comfort in my marriage. Comfort in my children and what I am able to do for them. The bonding we have experienced is priceless and irreplaceable.
Daily, mom's feel, or at least this mom feels inept. I will never be able to do enough for my children or my husband... nor will I do what I do good enough.... this is not words of my husband or my children. These are my words. But lately, what I have decided is that as long as I am working at it... it just has to be enough. But I truly have to be working at it. It doesn't count to just say I am working at it....
I need to do a better job at reflecting on what God tells me is good enough--- here is what I have found.
“I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.” – John 14:18
“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” – Romans 8:28
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV)
"Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him" (Psalm 127:3).
"I lift up my eyes to the hillswhere does my help come from?
My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot sliphe who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep" (Psalm 121:1-4)
