This morning I paid the doctor $40 to tell me that my kids have colds. I left feeling like such a dumb mom. I actually cried partly due to sleep deprivation, my hurt pride, and the 40 other ways I could have spent that $40. Pathetic I know.I called Mark who said, "That's great honey, now you know what's wrong with them!". That's Mark often seeing the postive.
I never KNEW how much I looked at things negatively but marriage and parenting has a way of exposing things in our lives... the good and not so good. I don't want to be a cry baby. I want to change the lense I sometimes view life in and see things from God's perspective. When I do I see that I have things pretty stinkin' good!
Does it get any sweeter than this!
Thank you Jesus for the SO many gifts you have blessed me with!
