Feeling Drained

So the girls and I have been sick for almost a week now and I am weary!! Today I was having one of THOSE days. . .all you moms know what I am talking about. The crying wouldn't stop and Avery was being completely disobedient. I felt like I was failing at motherhood. Right before bed Avery was sitting in time-out for 20 LONG minutes SCREAMING!!! She was having the ultimate melt-down, so Andrew and I decided that she would not have a snack or a show before bed. She was sad. I was sad. She kept repeating "I want to obey you". Well, I put her to bed and was on to deal with Brynn (who hadn't slept since 1:00 this afternoon)!! I was rocking Brynn in the living room really feeling like a failure. . .thinking of all the missed opportunties to teach my girls, to talk to them about their little hearts, to groom them to be beautful women of God! I was sad. . .then I heard a little voice singing . . .Avery was singing "Jesus loves me, Jesus loves me". How precious our little children are to teach us that at the end of the day our saviour LOVES US. He is gentle and patient and LOVES us through our BAD days! Those are the only words she know to that song and those were the ONLY words I needed to hear!
