I have to admit that over the past week or so I have been a little short with the kids. I have been feeling stressed and tired, for no so specific reason but a million little ones. I think it has alot to do with the change in season, there is always a sense of "Where do I belong" and "What am I doing with my life" during these times. The kids have been especially rambunctious lately, so we have had several days when I am positive that I am not being the kind and caring mom that I should be. But, God sent me a little reminder on Sunday that my kids are generally good, kind hearted chidlren. FIrst of all, during the morning service at church they all sat so well (as they almost always do) which is a blessing in itself considering that it is not the most entertaing time for 4 and 6 year olds. But, my heart really smiled when Luke, who had been doodling on some paper I gave him (he has been really working on letters lately) passed me a note he had written. In his kindergarten, smooshed together style of writing were the words "GODLIVS n ME ANDI LOVHEM". After service he told me what I had already figured out and shed a few tears over, that he had spelled "God lives in me and I love Him".
