Yesterday was a long day around here. I missed the mark in many ways. I lost sight in the parenting job and made things about me and my insecurities instead of about my kids. It's an easy trap to fall into.
At dinner I was listening to my son pray and was feeling pretty cranky. He started his prayer the same way he has always started his prayers.
Thank you God for a great day.
My mind had a side bar running. I was thinking I need to have a chat with that boy. He needs some reality. This was not a great day. He is praying by rote and not by what is real. And on and on my little mind churned.
Then this morning it struck me.
He was right and I was wrong.
If we're going about the business of comparison, it was a great day. We struggled and fought each other, but we had each other and so much more. Our lives are filled with abundance and on top of that salvation.
Reality check for me.
It really was another great day.
And if I look through the eyes of a child, it was a great day.
