I am so sorry and pray for God's PEACE in your life even through this tough situation. I have felt similarly during these past couple of months. My husband has been without work for many many months and we were/ are struggling financially. And I remember feeling bitter when I would hear people complain about their jobs or how much they made because we would desperately like to be making even half as much as them! Thankfully my husband just got signed on as a financial advisor with Edward Jones and, although we haven't yet received his first paycheck, God is faithful and there is light at the end of the tunnel. Heart to Heart, my friend!

For a bit of a different one, let me just say that women (like myself) who have not been able to have children, and are still holding out hope for them, are heartbroken when they hear moms complain about their kids. Oh yes, we know everyone has bad days and everyone needs to vent. But it still makes us a little sad :( Because we would give always anything to have a rough day filled with little ones.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08306390505502630791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005064369007637271.post-85874363368403674242014-02-02T15:17:26.834-05:002014-02-02T15:17:26.834-05:00Thank you so much for your encouraging words, Alic...Thank you so much for your encouraging words, Alicia! It's so easy, on rough days, to start viewing my kids as a burden rather than a blessing and I'm always asking God to help me remember what a blessing children {always} are.... no matter how the day goes! By the way, your two girls are absolutely adorable!!! SO cute!!

That is something no child deserves. Glad you have chosen to have a better view of the little girls in your community. They are blessed to hav e you as their "aunt"!

I also pretty much melt when Isaiah comes us to me after I've gotten ready and says, "Wow, Mom, I like your pretty hair!" or something similar.

Some of my most prized compliments come from my three year old, no matter how many times he says "Momma, you are beautiful," it almost always makes me want to cry.

Being a parent has taken me through refining fires on so many levels and for it I am grateful. I had planned to remain without children and I am so blessed not to have. There are many paths through life for each of us and I'm thankful for this one.Awesamsaucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907512737246587252noreply@blogger.com
