Good and Faithful

Today was one of those days where everything annoyed me. It’s so hard, because my frustration usually comes out at Jed, and then I feel so bad because I love him so much. The last thing I want to do is hurt the little guy’s feelings, even when he is driving me nuts. But today, he was just being a normal four year old, whining that too many books were falling off the shelf. I yelled, and he just looked at me through his tears, and said “Mama, you can’t yell at me.” It just broke my heart, but kind of in a good way. It’s such a blessing that he, in his unknowing way, reminds me of things about myself that I know need to change. My greatest desire lately is really just to be the best mama I can be, and it makes me so sad when I fall short. Every day I realize a little more that he and his sister are my little number one’s and I’ve go to give them my best. I suppose any and all of this can only be accomplished through God’s grace. I am truly thankful that He is good and faithful to complete the work He has begun in me.
