As single mothers things can become rough. You have your moments (as I am having one now) where you wish the load was a little lighter.
Can I be a little transparent right quick? I came home from work yesterday, did a little cleaning before my children came home from school and eventually started dinner when they got in the house and started their homework. Both of my sons came in the kitchen while I was cooking and was like Mom are you alright, you don’t look like yourself? I said yes, I’m just extremely tired and need a quick nap, then I’ll be alright. My oldest then proceeded to say that he felt sorry for me because I wake up early for work and always take care of them by myself. The only response I could give him was “that’s what parents do.”
Sometimes we may not think our children are paying attention – little do we know, they are. As I am writing this, I am reminded of Psalms 61:2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.” I just want to encourage you and let you know that God is right there with you. Although you are tired, and overwhelmed God is right there with His arms wrapped around you. He will comfort you, He will give you the strength that you need. All you have to do is ask.
I pray that if nothing else that your day will be amazing. I pray that you will be strengthen like never before. I pray God’s comfort over you, I pray God’s peace over you.
