Body is Wrecked, Mind is Tired, Spirit is Challenged, And Feeling Inspired by My Boys

Today I awoke unrested, irritable, and feeling disconnected from God.

This continued as I was trying to get my boys ready for school as nothing seemed to be going right.

I was unfocused, short in my communication with my boys and not at my best today.

With all this going on it was very difficult to stay in tune with spirit because of all the interference.

Today’s experience helped me have more compassion for what Job went through at an extremely reduced amount.

As Job as an example of staying faithful I still prayed, did my daily devotional, and had my boys ready to go on our walk to school.

I remained prayerful as I went to pick up my youngest from preschool, and my oldest for his appointment.

I honestly didn’t want to be around people because I wasn’t experiencing my normal sense of love and connectedness to God and humanity.

My body was experiencing pain through all of every part.

But as I was picking up my youngest, and other classes were coming out of the school, he chose to join me in holding the door open for the other classes coming out.

The amount of joy and playfulness that was exuding off my little man was amazing. He was saying hi to his friends and teacher friends.

It was beautiful to see how much enjoyment he got from being of service to others.

And there was something beautiful in how my older boy was looking after his little brother today.

Making sure he gets in the car and buckled up.

Sticking close to him while walking to the parking lot.

Sharing his snacks.

Making sure he has his coat.

Although I was having a really rough day, it was awesome to see my oldest taking such good care of my youngest.

It warms my heart to see a glimpse of the men they’re growing into.
