I typed these reminders for you and for me. Be encouraged precious mom.
Some days are long and exhausting and you may feel like you are operating in survival mode.....
Ask God to help you moment by moment and watch for His help. Let others help you too.
Some days it's hard to extend grace over and over again to your child.....
Remind yourself your child is a gift and needs lots & lots of love and grace.
Some days are hard, full of bickering, chaos, busyness, & etc...... Thank God for new days and ask Him to renew your strength each morning.
Some days you might hope your child forgets a glaring look, a harsh word, or a raised tone that was directed towards them..... Ask for forgiveness from God & your child and pray to be gentle, kind, and even tempered.
Some days your child's weaknesses may be screaming out at you..... Remind yourself of your child's strengths, there are many. Look for the best in your child.
Some days you may not "get your child" or understand your child..... Ask God to help you understand and to help you find ways to connect with your child.
Some days you may have the thought "You are far from being a perfect mom."..... Simply embrace the truth that God does not expect perfection from you and you will never be a perfect mom.
Some days may be boring being as a stay at home mom..... Remind yourself that being at home with your children is a high calling and it has much purpose.
Some days you may be depressed or in a "funk"...... Ask God to encourage you some how and watch for Him to answer your prayer. Also try to serve someone that day.
Some days you may not feel appreciated from your family..... Remind yourself often that you are doing "kingdom work" for the Lord.
Some days technology may lure you in more than it should...... Refocus and give most of your attention to God, your family, and others.
Every single day there are gifts to be found, ask God to help you see them.
Every single day there is something to be grateful for. Choose to look.
Every single day you have a Helper waititng to help you. Ask Him.
Every single day you are loved by God whether you have an awesome day as a mom or a terrible day.
Every single day receive God's love and grace and then pour it out. Be a blessing.
