It has been a tough few days. Jason has been out of town, Lexi was sick, and well, I am just tired. Lexi has also been throwing fits lately. She gets so frustrated and screams and points (wanting me to read her mind and then give her what she wants). Needless to say, I do not do as she wishes and I hear a ton of screaming before my wish is granted... hearing her sweet voice. Today, we had another rough battle, but right after it ended her favorite song came on and she asked, "Mom, will you dance with me please?" I was still disappointed with her previous behavior, but since she asked with her sweet voice and with manners, I agreed. We danced to about 7 songs. We laughed. We twirled. We loved it.
Sometimes when life seems hard, sad, or stressful, I like to just stop for a moment and find something happy or peaceful. This evening, Lexi and I were driving home and we noticed the beautiful sunset. I stopped so we could take a picture on my phone. When I look at the sky and it looks like this, it makes me think of the loved ones we have lost and are now in Heaven. Instead of feeling sadness, I feel comfort they are in their forever home in the arms of Jesus. I'm thankful to have to ability to remember and the faith to feel comfort. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
