Last night, before going to sleep, I decided to start this week and day with my Bible. It's my intention on most mornings, not always comes to fruition. Today it did. I read my today's passage from the study plan I currently follow (The Essential Jesus) while having breakfast and made a decision. To be an adult. To not let myself be overly irritated by the whims and annoying replies of my son*. With the help of Jesus, I have succeeded so far. Using this quiet hour when both kids are napping to document my achievement. Shall it be an enouraging reminder for me.
*He isn't only annoying. I love him dearly, he's a great joy and has enriched my life beyond measure. But sometimes too much of the same thing, in this case dealing with his "terrible twos" and being with him almost 24/7 can, like my husband wisely said, be like an infected wound that even the slightest poke can irritate and prevent the wound from healing. I have felt like this lately.
