I have thought so much about what it means to be strong enough. I have sometimes said in this last month, "I am not strong enough." I only utter these words to my closest of friends and in my prayers, knowing they and God see something greater in me that I do myself. I know God sees some way I can be the mom Corban needs. I am determined to be here for not just Mr. Blue Eyes, but each one of my Blue-Eyed Kiddos. So I pray for strength every day and I know it will come...
What has gives me strength: prayer, my loving husband, hugs from my blue-eyed crew, a box of sunshine, blankets of love, pictures of Jesus, cards of kindness, being stuck together in a cracker-jack car with all the Costco groceries, laughter, inspiring thoughts, scriptures, dinner and bowling with 007, babysitters, casseroles, brownies, salads, pine combs, text messages, happy thoughts, angels, Ipads, friends and sisters.
Corban being a trooper in the little pooper car! LOL. Next time we take the Uhaul.
It was an adventure right?? :)
ReplyDeleteI love that pic! I said on facebook the other day -- While parents are raising kids, they are also creating life long memories. Remember to make them good ones. --- my point is, someday THIS will be a memory... "Hey Mom, remember when you piled all that stuff on me?!" and it will be a happy memory. He won't remember if he felt crappy or sad that day, only that he and mom had a great trip to the store.
ReplyDeleteKeep you chin up my sweet sister. I love you all dearly
:)
ReplyDeleteYou are certainly strong enough. And when you can't do it anymore, others will carry. You CAN do it! Hugs
ReplyDeleteYou are forever strong. That's what your Mom taught you. You are a child of God and can do anything that is asked of you. Let people help. We all feel helpless and want to do something. (You know that feeling.) Remember you and yours are loved.
