You could have put up an angel faced picture of one of your kiddos - but the serenity of Christ and his mother was really nice to see.Kayleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08589019233035937673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82467923053087614.post-55407418416267989622011-08-10T11:12:28.203-05:002011-08-10T11:12:28.203-05:00Oh Renee - I feel you so much on this. I really wo...Oh Renee - I feel you so much on this. I really would like to reach through the computer and hug you. I read this at the end of a long day as well. We are adjusting to home life again after a trip down to Oregon (nothing like your big summer trip!) and it is soooo challenging when it just goes from one thing to the next. My house was beautifully clean when we pulled into the driveway on Monday night. Now it is a disaster. I just don't have the energy to clean up after everyone's messes because I am worn out from the trip as well! Josie has been very clingy, Lou has been very stubborn and sensitive, and even though I don't have a third baby I know one day that could be coming so it kind of stresses me out just thinking about it! But you are right to remind us that Parenthood is beautiful and that it is our legacy. I would add that it is forcing us to become more Christ like - in that we are shedding our selfishness and attachment to pleasure. We should be thanking God for every challenging moment because He is helping to sanctify us. It is so hard to remember this in the midst of everything - when all I want is to have a gin and tonic and cuddle with my husband! But all things work toward good for those who love God. Thank God! :)<br /><br />Just wanted to comment because I really really know how you feel. From one mommy to another.
