I stole this from a friend's blog...thought it was 100% true. This has been one of those weeks as a mom that you wonder if anything you do or say is sinking in!
Lord, when they scribble on the walls, please help me to see a rainbow!
And when I've said something a hundred times, please give me the patience to say it a hundred more!
And on those particularly annoying days when I tell them to act their age, please help me to remember that they are!
And while we are on the subject of age, Lord, when I begin to lose my temper, please help me to remember to act mine!
And through it all, Lord-- the fingerprints and runny noses, messy rooms and unrolled toilet paper, destroyed videotapes, and broken knick-knacks-- please help me to remember this:
Someday, these will be the days I will long to have back again.

Thanks, Jen, for this prayer! The Lord knows I needed this today! Even with 3 kids, 8..5..21 months, I still need patience!
