One day at a time
While driving in the car with my baby girl today this was our conversation: "Momma, were you sick a lot when I was younger?" I said "Yes, I was." She then asked me: "Momma, were you gone a lot to the Doctor?" "Yes, I was." "Momma, I remember you taking me to all of these peoples houses because you couldn't take care of me...you were SO sick. I am so happy now that you get to spend so much time with me now, and I get to stay with you. I know you still get sick, but now we get to do a lot of fun things together and we get to be together." "I know baby girl, it is so nice." I then explained to her that sometimes in life you have hard things that you have to deal with, but you keep going. You never, ever give up, even if it might feel hard you just keep living each day and you do your best. Today I had some hard minutes, yet I'm grateful for these quiet moments that I can reflect with my sweet girl. That I can remember where I've been, enjoy the present and look forward to the future one day at a time.

amazing! what good advice and good job teaching your child. It is those times that you feel good because you feel like you have taught them something and given them a good example. And its true. You can never see the end from the beginning or the middle. Just one day at a time. Walk by faith, minute to minute if needs be. Give us this day our daily bread and give us this minute our minutely bread! :) Much love! H
