Blessings

I have started this post probably three times already, maybe this one will be the "final draft". I've had chances for service this week and I've struggled with the load or hardship that comes along with brining my children with me. To keep this post short, I found out why one of these people needed my help. I felt so blessed to be available to help her and serve her today. I hope that I am not alone in thinking that sometimes doing the service is near to impossible with my children in tow! I find great joy in helping others, I've just realized that I am not supermom. I'm not like my church friends that seem to be able to do it all without the slightest bit of difficulty. I had to post this because I feel like it was something that helped to strengthen me and make me a better person. Does anyone out there understand what I am trying to say?

Girl, you are a super mom!!! Those ladies who seem perfect, aren't. They yell at their kids, get sick of being a mom . . .It's in all of us. Someone asked me if I was always so happy and patient. I laughed. When you see people for a short time, they may seem perfect. But girl, you are an amazing woman and friend and mom(although I have never seen you with your kids!!!) Hold your head up, you are doing an amazing job with difficulties most of us couldn't put up with. Whenever I see a military man, I tear up because of all you have shared! You rock!

Tami, thanks, but you really are too kind. I definitely lose it at times! I'm happy to know that other people do too! I admire you for finding recipes your little ones can eat. I don't know if I could do all that on top of trying to figure out what they feel like eating today! It constantly changes! I miss you and am SO very glad we are friends!
