Last week was my worst week since coming home from China. I was barely keeping my head above water. The battle being fought between myself and the littles was laborious. They won.
Since Friday, I have seen a light at the end of the tunnel.
Some blessings-
I was able to shop last week by myself thanks to my mom.
A friend brought us dinner because I had been so pathetic.
Sunday was spent playing my flute with others during church praising my Lord.
I spent about fifteen minutes sewing.
I read a book.
I witnessed two more former orphans coming home.
Saw how God provides for the needs of a family when faced with a job loss.
A break from home schooling.
Friendship and fellowship.
Sweet toddler kisses.
Outstretched arms.
Laughter.
My big boys loving on the littles.
Family.
God's grace.
Sewing and making music. Super therapy, being creative, for your soul!! I'm so thankful you had little snippets of sanity. ((hugs))
ReplyDeleteLiz, Have a wonderful Christmas with your beautiful family. I hope you get more peaceful moments! Looking at the other side (my oldest turning 18 in January), it seemed to fly by, but I do remember the toddler years being overwhelming at times. The demands for attention from adopted kids is extra high. I applaud you for keeping your faith and a positive outlook! Merry Christmas, Audrey
