I am a woman, a wife, a mother, a sister, a friend, a daughter, I am a person just like you.
All to often we forget that the people who are subjects of the rumors and gossip flying around are people just like you and I. They are someone’s child, parent, sibling, friend or spouse. They are REAL and they have FEELINGS.
I’m having a horrible dream, tossing and turning, and just can’t sleep well. I’m dreaming my husband is gone. He left and he isn’t coming back. I can feel such intense emotions and it feels so real I wake up with tears in my eyes.
Earlier today as the kids were cleaning up for lunch work I sent the 4-year-old to tidy up the playroom. It was a mess that had mostly been created by his younger brother and himself. He went in and immediately said, ‘Momma, I can’t do it by myself!.’
I explained to him that if he would just choose one thing at a time to put away he could indeed do it by himself. He put away all the books and then he attempted to put the cushions back on the couch and chair. He couldn’t do it. I watched him try and try. He struggled but he kept on trying.
When I am sad, even when I am happy for that matter, songs often pop into my head. Today as I sat on the edge of the bathtub waiting for the 3-year-old to go potty for the umpteenth time this morning I sighed, one of those ‘I am so tired’ kind of sighs and this song popped into my head and I prayed right then and there.
This song has always touched my heart and maybe its because I feel like this so often.
