This Momma's Daily Prayer

Lately it seems like the girls are taking me into an emotionally drained phase.  They require so much refereeing and hugging and disciplining and feeding and loving...  that I usually feel like I have nothing left at the end of the day.  I don't call anyone back anymore.  I can barely return emails.  Most of my energy is given to them.  And rightly so.

However, sometimes I have a hard time focusing on the things that truly matter.  Laughter.  Grace.  Touch. Gift giving. Beauty.  It's these things I ask to lead the way today.

Laughter, always be the first sound my girls wake up to.

Touch, let hugs and caressess and owie-kisses be in full supply.

Generosity, replace the stinginess that lingers in my heart.

Creativity, be my guide.

Grace, infuse my discipline.

Peace, be the tone of voice I use.

Beauty, chase after us.

Love, take over.
