burdened

just a little burdened this morning. noticed as i have spoken or observed some mothers the last couple of days, they seem burdened. i know life has it's ups and downs; good days and bad, but i believe we can still have joy--only through Jesus Christ. something the Lord is teaching me: things are not going to go my way or the way planned sometimes, but He is still God and in control. i need to be thankful things are not going the way "I" planned. the Lord gives us life abundant -- not just plain 'ol life. that means even in the bad/hard times. i believe more than ever we need to lift each other up as mothers. if you are a mother out there, i encourage you to spend time daily with the ONE who died for YOU--JESUS. we cannot make one moment without Him. we definitely cannot point our children in the way they should go without Him. find out what it is that is getting you discouraged. take it to the Lord, give it to Him, and do not take it back. praise Him for who He is and what He has done for you. YOUR DAY WILL BE GLORIOUS AS A RESULT...
