Today was one of THOSE days.
A day filled with…
…Bad Decisions.
…..Overreactions.
….Lots of Yelling.
….The Nasty Anger-In-My-Voice Tone.
ALL. DAY. LONG.
It was one of those days where I wondered WHY God ever let me have my wish to be at home with my kids.
I am not qualified.
I am too selfish.
Too angry.
Too nasty.
Too quick to point out faults.
Too quick to yell.
I took that Worst-Mom-of-the-Year Award and I just ran with it. It’s ALL mine. And I hate it.
I think that the ONE thing (really, the ONLY thing) that I did right today was…..
…..to apologize and ask for forgiveness.
And thank God that my kids are quick to give it, even though I really don’t deserve it.
And so is my God.
This evening ended with grace poured out. Undeserved grace.
And tomorrow is a new day.
This is what my day is like today. Thank you Lord for Your grace of mercy, salvation, & love.
It is so good to know that God's steadfast love and grace is always there for us. As the song & Bible verse says, "His mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning. Great is Thy faithfulness." (Lamentations 3:23)

{{hugs}} Praying that today goes smoother for you!! I think I handed you that trophy after my not so good {ahem} day on Monday……
Yes, tomorrow is a new day. I am so thankful for that undeserved grace.
There can't be two of us. I'll wrestle you for that trophy.
Hang in there, Mama! Your contrite spirit tells me you'll do better as time goes on. <3
Thanks, my friend! I'll gladly give you the trophy if it means that I get to stop being the worst mom ever.
You can bash me over the head with it whenever I behave the way I did today! =p
