(no subject)
I may NOT notice the clean sink
I may NOT notice the trash empty
I may NOT notice the bed made
I may NOT notice the stacked dishes
I may NOT notice that the world had changed at all
----------------
When you try to "please" me and I FAIL to notice it isn't intentionally to defeat you
Even though you take it that way.
_________________
What I am pleased is to see my children living for Jesus with all their hearts, souls, and minds
Because that is where I know they will find their strength for living each day in this tough world
Each day I pray for my children to seek Christ and to hold onto Him
Yes, my heartaches when choices are made that are unkind
Yes, my heartaches when words are hurtful instead of caring
Yes, my heartaches when I see my children going through struggles
All I can do is pray my children through the heartaches
-----------------
Please don't do things in expectation of a specific reaction from me
I will most likely disappoint you
Yes, I have expectations of daily chores accomplished, daily.
Yes, I have expectations that my children treat one another with kindness
Yes, I have expectations that my children be there for one another
Yes, I have expectations that my children should treat one another better than there non-family best friend.
Yes, it breaks my heart when so much hurt, jealousy, anger, and spite that I hear and see
------------------
My prayer,
Jesus,
May my children and family bonds together with Your love. Break down the walls of pain and replace it Jesus with Your love, grace, mercy, and peace. Heal the wounds that run deep in each heart and help the family to grow and live in You. Forgive me for where I fall so short in their lives. Please meet their needs in Your special way.
In your holy precious name.
Amen.
