I am so glad to start fresh today. Yesterday was an emotional adolescent day at our house. It's truly the first time I can say we had an "adolescent problem" at our house.
Does anyone have a fit-throwing needs-to-be-potty-trained toddler I can swap you for?
Just kidding. I love my girls so much but this growing up thing is all new territory for me and I feel totally unprepared!
And wait!! In about 2 years I can have both the adolescent and toddler at the same time!! (Which, as I understand it, are quite similar things.)
So as I came into the picked-up living room this morning and saw the sunlight streaming into my yellow kitchen...and thought about the day ahead...I was so thankful for this verse:
Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23
I don't know about you, but I need new compassion every morning.
And so do my children.
As a matter of fact, I DO have a child who needs to be potty trained and throws the occasional fit. :)
ReplyDeleteOh man, that verse is so good, and always comes up when I need to remember it. He is so good. All the time.
Praying for new mercies for you-- and your children-- today. :)
Or as Marilla Cuthbert puts it (Anne of Green Gables) "Each day starts fresh with no mistakes in it." Some days are hard (especially adolescent hormones on the loose) but yay for a new day!
