Today is the last day for the work week and I still haven't reached even half of my hourly quota. Oh well, I started this week with a positive mind but my positive-thinking didn't save me from my baby's sudden shift of sleeping pattern, family gatherings, and the announced power outage to which I was unaware of. And to add, my baby got sick during the weekend. She still has colds needs me beside her every time.
Anyway, I'm not totally in despair. Although, I really needed the money badly: for my baby's vaccines which are quite expensive, as well as for her milk, diapers and most especially, it is almost Christmas!
It's now hopeless to reach my quota. So here I am, cyber stalking and just surfing to clear my mind. And I came across a lot of things. But of all the things I encountered, I would like to share this.
I think, I really need to say this prayer every day. I mostly think of expenses and get frustrated every time. I guess this prayer might help me clear my mind. Thank you, whoever you are who wrote this.
Here's for all you moms out there who are busy making ends meet.
A MOM'S PRAYER:
Dear Lord, it's such a hectic day
With little time to stop and pray
For life's been anything but calm
Since You called on me to be a mom
Running errands, matching socks
Building dreams with building blocks
Cooking, cleaning, and finding shoes
And other stuff that children lose
Getting lids on bottled bugs
Wiping tears and giving hugs
A stack of last week's mail to read
So where's the quiet time I need?
Yet when I steal a minute, Lord
Just at the sink or ironing board
To ask the blessings of Your grace
I seen then, in my small one's face
That you have blessed me
All the while
And I stop to kiss
That precious smile
