Lifes a Bowl of Cheerios
Posted On 09/22/2008 02:11:33 by mom22boyz

  Today I woke up and I was 24 years old I had two children to take care and a husband to make happy, Along with that I had laundrey to do dishes to wash and bills to worry about, rent is almost due and the house is a mess, why did I even get out of bed my to do list is litterally endless. As I was getting ready for church I looked in the mirror and was disapointed at the weight I have gained and I was ready to ask God why my life was so hard and then my five year old walked in and interupted me.  
  
He wanted breakfast, not what I had put out for him (Cheerios and a banana with milk) he wanted pancakes with syrup. As I lectured him about being ungrateful and how he should appreciate the healthy meal I had put out for him, I realized I was being ungratful of what the Lord had given me so what if my life is cheerios and not pancakes. The Lord knows what is good for me and he gives me what I need, im looking at things a little differently tonight. 
  So as I go to bed tonight I am 24 years young I was given two beautiful healthy children and I have a husband that makes me so happy, along with that I have  lots of clothes to wear and make dirty, I have food to dirty my dishes with, and I have a phone and a computer to write this on a car to ride in and a home to watch my children grow and to lay my head down in peace. I have a life filled with blessings my cup is more than half full. My cup runeth over.
Thank you God for my healthy happy life!

Your entry is inspiring, and it reminds me a terrific book, called "Holiness for Housewives & Other working women".  And it focuses on how everything we do everyday is for the glory of God & the wellness of our families.  I really got a lot out of it & have read it several times, it is a quick read & it is just nice to be reminded.  Nothing we do is mundane, it all has a purpose.  "I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much." Mother Teresa

This is so inspiring. I will remember this the next time i am feeling down on life. Isn't it funny how God enlightens us with silly things like cheerios? Thank you for the insight.

Thank you for sharing. I've been having a tough time wondering why my life has been going the way it has lately and you have just opened my eyes. He does have a plan for me and my family and He will only give me what I can handle. Thank you for giving me some peace (even if it only lasts a short time)
