This past Wednesday Addison had another neurosurgeon
appointment. It was in Lubbock, some two
hours down the road – four hours round-trip.
And, as I was driving to and from, I was thinking. I do some of my best thinking in the car,
actually, although almost none of it makes it anywhere useful because I have a
raging case of forgetfulness going on.

Bitter Things
Look at the birds of the air, that
they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father
feeds them. Are you not worth much more
than they? And who of you by being
worried can add a single hour to his life?
… So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for
itself. Each day has enough trouble of
its own. (Matthew 6:26-27, 34)

The list of hard things this side
of heaven can be kind of long.

home today. I would be rushing to go
pick up the cake. Straighten the
house. Wrap the final present.

Mom-a-logue
I’m a momma.
I spend a large amount of
my time saying the same thing over and over and over again. Like calling a child’s name or asking them to
put their shoes back on or telling them, for
the love, EAT YOUR DINNER! (This
principle is also true of my relationship with my husband who, though he is
still young, can’t seem to hear for the life of him…so I get to say things to him over and over too…)

Suffering for Righteousness Sake
Hard days…harder
nights.
No matter how
grating today was…no matter how intolerable your now seems or how intimidating
your tomorrow may be…
Just these
