First and Foremost, thank you more than words can say for your kind responses .
Your encouragement, sympathy, and the fact that you can relate means the world to me. Thank you thank you thank you. Today is a beautiful new day. =)
Remembering to Keep Calm and Carry On.
Yesterday we received news that yet another one of Jimmy’s young soldiers was killed.
Remembering his life, sacrifice, courage and strength.
Remembering that I only have 3 months left of this.
That yesterday we cut off a link and now there are merely three left.
Remembering that God never gives us more than we can handle.
Remembering that he is doing an important job. One that he needs to do
and one that he needs me to support. That he is patiently and intelligently doing something great and noble.
Remembering that they, after all, are only one and almost three and that sometimes they don’t have the words to convey their feelings.
And that sometimes, I also feel like screeching and howling like a rabid spider monkey, but that I am just too old for such madness.
And remembering that I’ve always wanted babies and that I’m so blessed that I have these two maniacs.
Remembering that I, after all, am only human.
That just b/c I’m blessed to have the girls doesn’t mean I’m not allowed
to need a break from them. Or feel frustrated with them.
And that I don’t need to feel guilty every time I feel those emotions.
So that’s what’s on my mind today.
Please pray for J and his guys, as they go through losing a soldier all over again.
And for the young man’s family and friends.
For peace and comfort.
I’m off to try to be crafty. Harper is immersed in her felt board and Sadie baby is napping. Wish me luck. 😉
And thanks again for your encouragement.
