A grateful wife

Here's some truth telling for you....Yesterday was a bad day. I have to admit that at certain times of the month (ahem) I may get a teensy bit cranky, emotional, overly stressed, dramatic --- you name it, I FEEL it!! I'm not proud by any means, but it is....well....reality.

So yesterday I was having a tough day with the kids, and specifically with our homeschooling lesson plans for the day. I felt discouraged, and a bit overwhelmed and I may have, just a little bit, taken it out on my poor hubby. Again.....not a proud moment.

Sometimes, no matter how hard he tries to be supportive, nothing gets through to this thick skull of mine, and I know that he can feel like he's beating his head against the wall. Yesterday was a wall beating day for sure. (sorry honey)

But today....this is the note I received from my wonderful, amazing, encouraging husband....


Cornerbacks (defense) are told they need to have a short term memory. Meaning they need to forget about the last play and focus on the new one. The reason is because they are out there on an island all by themselves and have a big responsibility. They can have a lot of bad plays but they will also have good plays as well and can be a game changer. In homeschooling you are going to have bad days and great days and ultimately be our game changer for our kids. You can forget about the tough days and focus on making today a great day. Love you!


Seriously.....how lucky am I?? I am so blessed, and so undeserving, and so in AWE of the man God chose for me. In all of my sin, and in all of my hormonal pity parties, I have this wonderful man right by my side, helping me through it all, despite how unworthy I am of his grace and love.
 
I am certainly a grateful wife.
