Juggling with no hands

Do you ever have a day (or, let's be real here, multiple days, weeks, or even months) that feel like you're too stressed out and life is just all about survival? Getting from one moment to the next and not truly enjoying the moments you have?

Yeah, it sucks. 

But you know what? You can't control everything. You can control some things though. 

Just yesterday I was doing the dishes and my daughter crawls up to me and stands up at the back of my legs bawling like the world had ended. She was hungry. I could have finished the dishes and had a clean kitchen while there were little girl wails, or I could have stopped and fed the hungry and subsequently hungry baby. 

I chose the latter of the two. The dishes and the kitchen could wait. The time with my daughter is much more important than a constantly clean kitchen in my household. 

We need to realize that these little moments are going to fly by. We never know how much time we will have with our kids, and we need to enjoy every second we can have with them. 

Will my daughter remember this one instance? No. Will I? Yes. 

Remember, 

This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.

Psalm 118:24

Rejoice in every time you have with your child. Your husband. Your family. Be thankful for all you have, because it is all a blessing from Him.
