As hard as it is to imagine, it's back-to-school time around our household. I can't even get my head around the fact that my children's summer vacation is already over. I spent their first day of school living in my car, going here, there and everywhere, getting last minute supplies they need, or shorts for band, and lunch snacks and I am sure there will be even more trips this week for the 'oops, I forgot to tell you I need...." lol!!
So, I found myself having a hard time going to sleep last night and couldn't figure out why...and then I had that V8 moment and realized that I was taking on the stress of this new season which was causing me to not get the much rest I need so I can ensure I don't get more grey hairs on my head before they are really due. lol!!
So, that has led me to this verse - an inspiration to be careful what 'wardrobe' I choose to wear every day. I am determined that I be a mom that stays calm, doesn't get huffy, or react out of the craziness of a school year schedule including everything that is on my agenda with my music and other ministries I'm involved in.
I have always asked myself this question through the years, "Would I like having me for a mom?" I want my children to grow up and have amazing memories, looking back and seeing lots of laughter, joy and loads of love - cuz - WHEN MOMMMY IS HAPPY, EVERYBODY IS HAPPY. :)
Here's your inspiration for the day:
Colossians 3:12-14 (The Message)
So, chosen by God for this new life of love, dress in the wardrobe God picked out for you: compassion, kindness, humility, quiet strength, discipline. Be even-tempered, content with second place, quick to forgive an offense. Forgive as quickly and completely as the Master forgave you. And regardless of what else you put on, wear love. It's your basic, all-purpose garment. Never be without it.
Enjoy, take it one day at a time and breathe in EVERY single moment of mommyhood!!
Smiles,
Tracee
