Good morning everyone! Hope the 3 of you that read this are doing great today and enjoying the gorgeous fall weather the Lord has provided today. I want to take a moment to let you all in on a few secrets…

First, I’m not perfect. I really try hard to be. I’m not sure why, but I think it must have something to do with never doing anything right as a kid.  I always want my husband to come home to a piping hot dinner, a clean house and happy kids. This happens about once a week. I have awful morning breath and sometimes I don’t get a shower until 2 in the afternoon.

Second, I’m not the best mom. I make mistakes. I yell too much and don’t pray with my kids enough. We don’t pray before dinner unless we sit at the kitchen table and that’s only when my mother-in-law comes for dinner.

Third, I’m a great baker. I love to cook and bake and am really pretty good at it. I don’t want to brag, but my husband and kids love when I whip up something new. Sometimes it’s a flop. I make mistakes and get frustrated about them, but I keep trying.

I have a thousand things I could be honest about, but I won’t bore you. The reason for this post is to let all you mom’s out there, working or homemaking, know that NO ONE IS PERFECT!!!!

My friend Jen told me yesterday that I need to let myself off the hook and stop justifying myself when I need to drop Tyler off so I can get a haircut.

God gave us all gifts. It’s important we recognize that everything from a gorgeous fall day to healthy kids to low stress mornings are a gift…Be thankful!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m trying. Say it with me…”Thank you God for every gift today, seen and unseen. Help me to find beauty in small moments”

YA GOD!!!
