Lioness

Today I have been running around the house chasing toddler tornadoes and tidying toys of said toddler.  I have been trying to explain up the street and down again the value of reading carefully.  I have been teaching the alphabet.  I have been driving to the grocery store, planning Halloween costumes, and driving to soccer practice.  I have been cleaning up messes.  I have been having story time and baking pizzas.  I have been giving baths and wiping bottoms.  I have been passing messages.  I have been finishing dishwashing and making lunches......

Oh, wait.

Today I have been praying.  I have been listening.  I have been guiding.  I have been teaching.  I have been comforting.  I have been encouraging.  I have been cultivating spirit and character.  I have been safe-keeping.  I have been maintaining health.  I have been helping.  I have been problem-solving.  I have been loving.

Wow.  I am Mama...hear me ROAR...

(Thank you, God, for your blessings this day.  Thank you for helping me to see my blessings clearly, that I might focus on the rewards rather than the sacrifices.  Thank you for teaching me to love, that I might show love in all I do.  Help me to do it better tomorrow than I did it today.  And God Bless my Littles and their Daddy.  Amen.)
