Happy Mother's Day to All !!!

Good day to all you Mothers's out there. If you are like me at this time you may be or have been running on emtpy and feeling overwhelmed with trying to be super momma and at times I know I have even felt like a failure perhaps life isn't what we have expected it to be at all. You may have started off thinking this mothering stuff will be easy how hard is it to love a cuddle bug well then reality sets in and you have a baby who wont sleep or a three year old who refuses to potty train, a first grader with ADHD, a sassy 14 year old daughter, a high school senior you cant imagine letting go of as they learn to make their own choices, or a grown prodigal child you long to come back to Jesus. As hard as all these situations we may find ourselves in we all want to be that mother who behaves with love, joy, peace,patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,gentleness, and of course self-control with our kiddo's right?? of course who doesn't but we often feel this is where we fail the most and it can be disappointing cant it? However mommy's I have awesome news there is hope for us all and it is found at the feet of our Lord Jesus. He wants to wrap us in His loving everlasting arms and take away any and all of are frustrations, He wants to give us the answers to all our Mothering issues
Jesus wants us to fill our lives with Him so He can bless us and accomplish His purposes through us Praise you Jesus. If you are feeling empty as I spoke of run to Jesus to be filled and He will fill you up. I have to admit this last week I was very much running on empty and the Lord Nudged me back into His arms and there were situations in my week that caused me to just sit before my Lord be still and know He was God and know He was wanting me to slow down and seek Him. My prayer for us all this Mother's Day is that if you are feeling as though you are running on an empty tank to open your heart to the love of God ,settle yourself,be still and quiet,and get ready to be filled up. This Mother's Day take a bubble bath Set your mind on heavenly things and remember how truely blessed we are to be given the honor of looking after the Lord's gifts BESTOWED TO US "OUR WONDERFUL KIDDO'S". MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU AND GIVE YOU A RELAXING DAY AS YOU BE STILL BEFORE HIM GOD BLESS YOU ALL !!!
IN HIS LOVING GRIP,
CINDY

What a beautifull blog. If only Mother's Day wasn't on Sunday. No sleeping in, no breakfast in bed, and surely no bubble baths! It's the Lord's day for us. I think they should make it on a Monday and make it a national holiday!
