Today has been an up and down day.
School went well, and I guess I feel like everyone is making good progress.
I think we are just in need of a break. Thanksgiving weekend will be so nice. We can just relax and there won't be any school.
I am tired of having to be so pushy all the time, but then, I know that most kids aren't self-motivating.
I know I should be grateful for all the Blessings that we have, and I am! We have a warm house, food, employment, health and I am able to be home to teach the boys.
I guess it just seems like I am so busy trying to teach them to appreciate what they have, that I forget to think about it myself!
Then when there are sad/scary times, it seems like it kind of knocks the wind out of you.
I try to stay positive and trusting in God's will, but then when I am faced with an aspect of His will that I don't want, I cower and ask Him to make it easier.
I know that's not fair. So many people around me are faced with burdens that seem unbearable, and yet, through the Grace of God, they carry them and go on. How can I ask Him to lighten my little load? It doesn't seem little to me, but by comparison...
God has been so good to us, and we are very grateful.
Please God, help me to accept Your will with Grace and humility. Amen.
