Minutes to Moments

...Reflections for Mom’s Busy Life by Maria Rodgers O'Rourke

Consider it joy

My brothers and sisters whenever you face trials of any kind, consider it nothing but joy.  James 1:2

Trials and tribulations are a staple of the mom’s life.  Our days are filled with care and concern for our offspring, and our thoughts are divided between our children, our work and our needs.

But would we have it any other way?  Our children bring spontaneity, laughter and joy into our lives.  So, instead of fretting over the trials, let’s give thanks for the instigators of the trials…and for having been entrusted with their care and upbringing.

Dear Reader, please comment:

Think of a time when your child was driving you crazy.  Looking back, is there something about the situation that makes you laugh?

Remember the last time you felt overwhelmed?  How did the details work out for you?  Honestly, don’t they always work out for the best?
