One for the Mamas!

Some days are all glory and flowers.  Hope & peace & joy & fulfillment. 
Some days are not!

Some days are carefully constructed "Thankful Trees".

Some days- The pumpkin sits with no words written on it.

Even though this was the plan:

Some days we adjust.  And we throw our plans out the window.  Because some days our children need remarkable crafts from us and devotions that inspire and activities that become catalyst for thought.  And some days they need to be picked up early & they need a hug, some medicine, some essential oils & to be tucked in.  And some days they need to see that we can change our plans because we need to rest, or they need to rest, or a neighbor needs us.  

Mamas, one of the primary ways you are being salt & light in this world is by being a mama to these people you call children!!

And, oh to realize that it looks almost nothing like you thought it would, like you think it should, but that it is everything that it is supposed to be.  

"Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary."  -Galatians 6.

"Perfect thankful trees are deceptive and thankful pumpkins are fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised."  -Proverbs 31.  Or something like that!!!
