A Plea

As a parent, I am entirely unqualified.  I believe we all are.  Friends will give each other advice in a "believe me, I know best" sort of way, but really none of us do.  My children humble me.  There are so many gaps in my abilities that I can only pray that God will step in every 5 minutes and help smooth things out ever so much; to help me honor these amazing children that He's entrusted to my clumsy care.

As I fumble around and struggle with the challenges that my children lob at me, and as I stand there fuming in frustration with not a single clue how to proceed, may God help me default to LOVE.  With each moment of "What the heck do I do NOW??" may I fall back into a loving pause.  A reboot.  A tossing off of the anger that does no good.  A firm embrace of the best path forward -- just love them.  That way, even though it may not gain the approval of the Alpha Mommies, my babies will know the endless warm hugs, kisses and affections of their mamma.
