On most days my boys are great kids! For the most part they listen, have manors, and are obedient, happy little boys. They do have strong personalities, some adults don’t appreciate kids that “think outside the box”, but that’s an entirely different post…
Every once in a while when they are tired, sick, or just in a mood they can aggravate the hair off a cat! They want what they want and they want it NOW! They have resorted to foot stompin, fit pitchin, and down right grating my nerves with their demands!! No matter how they act the way I love them doesn’t change!
Today I realized I’m not much different than my boys. I had to stop my myself from throwing a fit and ask myself how my Heavenly Father sees me. Most days he sees the happy, well rounded, respectful, obedient child that loves people and loves him.
Other days he sees the spoiled brat that wants things to go my way RIGHT NOW! Either way, he loves me the same, he doesn’t change!
Today I had a little pity party, I was pitching a fit and stompin my feet! I finally realized…. THIS ISN’T GONNA MAKE ANYTHING BETTER! I asked him to remind me of his promises for me. I almost instantly felt a peace come over me. My tears of selfishness quickly changed to tears of joy when I realized the best thing I could do for myself can not compare to what God has in store for me! Just like I have to tell my kids sometimes, he told me this evening: Be still little girl, stop pitching a fit and wait for what I am creating and molding JUST for you!! It will be worth the wait!
