Life...and HOPE!

Sometimes my life feels like a crazy whirlwind...swirling out of control with no end in sight.

But....

The sun still rises and sets every day.

LIFE GOES ON!

Even when it feels like it wont.....

it does.

Some days it's "all" worth it...

and

some days it's not.

But....

It does goes on.

Some days I get the dishes done...and some days I don't.

Some days I remember that I am married to the most incredible man I know (whom I love very much)...and some days I take that most incredible man for granted.

Some days I stop pulling my hair out and sweating profusely in line at the grocery store while my children run around like wild boars long enough to realize that I am truly blessed to have 4 BEAUTIFUL boys who are sweet (albeit rambunctious) and who are children of God.




So...my thought for the day....

HOLD ON to those moments!


HOLD ON to those times that MAKE IT "ALL" WORTH IT!

They may be few....

they certainly feel far between...

but there IS hope.


In hope there is Faith.

In Faith there is Jesus Christ.

And he is aware of me (and you) at every moment of every day...and he wants us to be happy.



"Adam fell that men might be...men are that they might have joy."

Well said my dear! I have been feeling just like this lately. Wish I never felt so overwhelmed, but it's life. But after listening to your thoughts, I may not feel like crawling under a rock today. Thanks for the thoughts

I love it! That scripture always comes to mind whenever fear, dicouragment or worry creep into my life! We are supposed to be joyful. It's hard to keep that in the forefront all the time, so those little reminders are so important! You are darling Mel, I love knowing you!

Celeste said...

I agree with everyone else! Life is hard and you are still amazing! Love you Mel!

Thank you Mel. Thanks for always being honest and sharing your good insights. I've sure been working on focusing on those golden moments that do make it all worth it.

You go girl! One of the things I love most about you is your indominatible spirit -- you don't give up! It is a real gift to find joy in the moment.

Good words! Definitely thoughts to help a mother stay sane.

Thank you Melanie! I have a really hard time sometimes when I have been up all night or when I allow myself to take my also incredible husband for granted remembering that it is the "moment that make it worth it" that count! Thanks for the reminder :0)

Amen. That was just what I needed to read today. I am in Portland visiting some friends, it has been very stressful, so thanks.
