Crazy mornings. As moms, I think we all experience them. If you don't, then read no further. How can we lose our minds before 8:30 am? In our home, I know I am super busy getting lunches packed, breakfast made, and kids out the door. I bet you can relate. Most mornings go somewhat smoothly, but then there are days like today when I miss the mark. I was impatient. I was stern. Instead of training in love, I blew it. It happened right before drop off. The timing could not have been worse. So, I got to come home and feel like a bad mom. Not so fun. But, I have to regroup. I went to the Lord to ask for forgiveness, and I prayed His Word over my words once again.
God,
help me to put on love each day.
help me to be slow to anger.
help me to stay calm.
help me to be even tempered, not stern or harsh.
help me to train my child in love.
help me to be tenderhearted and full of mercy.
help me to respond not react.
help me to extend grace to my child.
help me to wound my child minimally.
and last of all Lord, help me to extend grace to myself over and over.
And you better believe this mom will humbly go to her child after school and apologize for missing the mark.
Hoping your crazy mornings are few and far between. But if you have one, go quickly to the Lord. He's ready to help us mommas.
