Life with three has definitely made me have to STOP. Stop comparing. Stop envying. Stop self pitying. STOP and well…. smell the roses. This blink of time in my life is rich in blessings and rich in refinement. Though the refinement part….. losing my ever-loving-mind….. screaming at my kids…. drowning my sorrows (in merlot)…..really seeing my selfishness; entitlement; materialism. YUCK. But you know I don't think I'd see those things without seeing them in the eyes of my children. It is in these dirt covered moments that I have to cry out to my savior for MERCY. And on my knees is where Jesus reaches down into my muck, lifts up my f-bomb dropping chin looks into my eyes and says, "You're a mess and I love you. Lets go run through the sprinkler with those little monkies of yours." I'm really learning to use those dirt covered moments for refinement so that I can see the blessing of these precious years.
