Have you ever had one of those days where you feel kind of "down," but you can't really put your finger on the reason why? Well, I'm having one of those days today. It's the kind of day that you don't even know if chocolate will help! It's the kind of day when my husband is wise if he doesn't try to fix things, but prays for me, hugs me and tells me everything's gonna be okay.
As I was feeding our infant Mary Ann, I just felt like crying. She looked up at me with her sweet toothless grin and rice cereal all over her face. I told her aloud that Jesus loves her and it was as if she was saying, Mommy...Jesus loves you too! Then, I heard God's voice say, "I love you too!" All I could think about was the peace I felt in my heart after that.
I was talking to a treasured friend today and we were talking about how blessed our lives have been since knowing Christ. Not perfect, but filled with peace of Christ. Christ makes all the difference...Jesus, I love you, this I know! :o)
Don't you love how God reminds us of things like that?
ReplyDeleteYes, I do...I really do...He is so faithful! :o)
ReplyDeleteHi there~
ReplyDeleteI read your post over on the QF digest~ Orlando sounds FUN!
I was reading your blog here....I have felt the same way at times. I am QF and have 6 kiddos so far and with baby #4 and 5 I got postpartum depretion. I was never really treated for it...thankfully it has passed.
I will keep you in my prayers. Talk with your hubby and tell him how you feel.
I blog too (I have the same template as you)
