Silence.
Once again evening.
3 boys all asleep.
The hard push to get through the day is complete.
My sweetheart is so dearly missed as he is gone across the country this week.
It's always this time of day that I finally get time to really think and process. It's this time I look back over all the words of encouragement that were slow to come or simply fell short before they were even vocalized from my lips. The words spoken in impatience that I want so much to go back in time and take back, replace with ones much more lovely.
Time is so short.
These 3 boys are precious, precious gifts!
All their endless energy, fighting, poor choices, stretch me so thin.
Thankfully, God's grace really is amazing and it's days like today that I'm so humbled that He offers it to me. I don't deserve it but that's just what makes grace grace.

As much as we LOVE our children it's MORE THAN OK to LOVE the END OF THE DAY and finally get some time to ourselves... For ex. after the kids went to bed I
MADE myself take a few minutes to watch a little tv BEFORE I started to work on paying bills:) We made it through another day! It's so comforting to know that there's always tomorrow to try and get it "right!"
oh, how we know this soooo well! Thankfully God's grace IS sufficient. May you continue to delight in the men in your life!
Thank you for this reminder! You are a lovely person, JA.
Whew, I had to be reminded of God's grace in parenting last week, too. We're in this together! :)
Great reminder! I saw a mama today cuddling her baby in a bjorn and it made me remember those days with my little kye. they grow up so fast. it's so important to treasure every moment.
