Legacy ...

Don't worry about scale
Or if it is enough

We all leave a trail
Realizing what ours is and trying to make it
Positive is what leaving a legacy is all about

With Him

It has not been my best morning.  Or night either.
The stomach flu has hit our house and whenever that happens, I suddenly lose it.
Colds, fevers, bad marks, moderate injuries, arguments, and most other things that come with mothering don't phase me.  But give me a kid whose vomiting and I crumble.  I mean they are the ones sick but I am the one crying.
Ah not something I'm proud of.
And this morning, everyone in the house knew I was not coping well.  Words were said.  My voice was raised.  Cupboards were slammed.
Oh how I wish I could just erase all of that.
But I can't.
So here I sit at the feet of Jesus, pleading for forgiveness and asking Him to undo any damage that I did to the hearts or souls of my precious family.
I'm also asking Him to release me of the guilt I feel and help me forgive myself.
To let it go and embrace His amazing grace.
Help me trust You Jesus, always, even when I feel like I can't do this.  Help me remember that with you I can.
