Just for Moms...
"It is a sunny day!" Our son would say this often when he would get up in the mornings when he was little. I was not...some would still argue...that I am not a "morning person". God put that little guy in our home to point out something that I was not even noticing (he still does that for me at 16 years old). It was a rebuke to my momma's heart to start being thankful for each day...right away in the morning...whether I am a "morning person" or not! It is hard when your little loves do not let you sleep all night...or when you can't sleep because of the heaviness of this time in our history...
No matter the circumstance...I need to voice my thankfulness to the Lord each day. Did God keep us through the night? Did I get out of bed on my own today? Does my family need me to take care of them as best as I know how? Do I need to think correctly?
Those are the thoughts that hit me this morning...and then I sat down with my Bible and read Proverbs 14. Oh what a great chapter...for the whole family to think about today! My heart rested on verse 26 and 27, "In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence; and His children shall have a place of refuge. The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death."
Leave the mess of this life alone...turn off the news, put your phone down, turn off social media notifications...focus on the truth that God has given us to build our homes and families. Your children need you to be at your best mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Think about what is affecting you and not allowing you to have strong confidence or life...that bubbles and refreshes like a water fountain!
With love,
Kari...just grabbing tightly to the fear of the Lord so my family will desire to walk in the fear of the Lord too. Proverbs 14:1-2
