Ok, so life with two little ones is super exhausting and on certain days (like this one) it is difficult for me to have perspective. Ruby is sensitive and wakes up every two hours at night. Will is two and has a lot of strong opinions. I am a short-tempered sinner. Ruby spent much of the day crying and William has really been testing me to see if I mean what I say lately. Days like this leave me feeling angry, trapped and desperate.
At bedtime we sing William songs before putting him down. Brad often sings "Grace that is Greater" and I regularly sing "Amazing Grace". He always begs for more songs. Many times on days where I feel like all I did was battle my kids he will sweetly say "More grace please Mommy?" at bedtime. He is referring to the song but the Lord is speaking to my heart. More grace, please. I almost cried the first time he said it. God is so faithful to give me perspective when I lack it.
No truer words. My eyes are no longer dry.
