Bits and Pieces

As a wife and mother, most times I feel the pressure of keeping my household in perfect order. The pressure to present my family as "all-together" with every piece of our lives in place. The truth is, we live in a fallen world! The possibility of my family and house being perfect is never going to happen.

I was reminded of this in the middle of the night. I had been up with my son a couple of times and my daughter had woken up at least once, as well. All with a sick hubby lying next to me. The Lord graciously reminded me that in my own strength I'm not able to keep it all going. I may be able to put a few pieces together, here or there. But the overall, complete result is up to Christ. It's not my job to prefect my family. It's my job to serve them, care for them and continually point them to the only One who can keep things all together. 

It was was a freeing reminder for this tired momma! Hope it encourages you as well:)
