As we were going to bed I asked myself allowed "how can i do what just did today tomorrow again??" He then turned to me and thanked me for all that I do and will do. He reminded me of the bigger picture, and I awoke this morning with so much grace and such enthusiasm to see the little ones! This post just confirmed all my thoughts. May God grant us grace to see the JOY of today!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298058527558042641.post-76975244751557913482011-11-17T15:01:11.178-06:002011-11-17T15:01:11.178-06:00Hello, Anonymous!

And, we just moved from a very nice home in Kansas City to a trailer house in farm country.....really, it all boils down to perspective and priorities: choosing joy, choosing peace, choosing to be satisfied with doing our best no matter what the outcome, giving it all to God....Keep going, you can do it! Blessings to you as you await the arrival of your next most precious family member!Susan Husbandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03613438150450460989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298058527558042641.post-28721616632449311302011-11-17T12:43:17.638-06:002011-11-17T12:43:17.638-06:00You capture this beautifully.

Most of our friends are still single or just getting married, which allows them pottery barn type accommodations. <br />I on the other hand am a very big mess. But instead of excusing the mess, I've started to simply say very matter-of-fact "this is my life right now" and follow it by a laugh. Those that laugh with me have accepted us and remained dear friends.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298058527558042641.post-64034174802954971522011-11-12T17:12:06.267-06:002011-11-12T17:12:06.267-06:00Well said!
