“What did I do to deserve this day?”
That’s what I asked myself aloud earlier today. I didn’t mean it in a good way though.
I was exhausted, exasperated, ready to throw in the towel.
Then, as soon as I said it, I thought about it again.
“What DID I do to deserve this day?”
Two children underfoot.
Mine all mine.
A little boy who I’ve been blessed enough to have for three whole years.
Mine all mine.
Even through the potty accidents, the drawing all over the walls, the tantrums.
He’s mine all mine.
A little girl who turned just one, who is a mama’s girl through and through.
Even through the crying, whining, no napping, and food on the floor.
She’s mine all mine.
They may both push me to my limits. They may even bring me to tears sometimes.
But they are mine and that is more than I ever deserved.
“What did I do to deserve this day?”
……
What did I do to deserve this life?
Love this! It’s great to stop and count your blessings!
GREAT post! We all need to stop and breathe and get a different perspective sometimes. Thanks for the reminder!
Ahh, Always be grateful for what you have, even though it can drive you crazy sometimes.
