Ok, self, some things to remember today.....
1. Don't chafe when there are endless serving opportunities at home today. Praise God that He would not only save you, but that He would give you something meaningful to do for Him. Laundry, meals, baths, endless talks, discipline, basketball games, birthday parties, hugs and kisses, dirty dishes- all equal a great opportunity to love your husband and children so that you will more aptly represent Christ to them.
2. Celebrate the little moments that are here today and gone tomorrow. This life of busy days with children is quickly fleeting. Make sure you live today toward your family in such a way that tomorrow you will have no regrets. Smile at the children, kiss the baby's cute toes, play with them, sincerely congratulate the 6 year old on the intricate Lego Starwars Imperial Dropship that he just made, and don't complain about being tired from all your work.
3. Regularly survey your life and thank the Lord for how He has so incredibly blessed you. You tend to forget some of those blessings when everyone is crying and the cereal bowl just got dumped on your lap. It will give perspective to a stressful day if you will remember how great a salvation you've been given, what precious people are in your life to love and be loved by, and what a significant life you have an opportunity to live as one redeemed by Christ.
Ok, now get back to the happy chaos!
