So this is what I prayed this morning while fixing breakfast for my boys. (Yesterday was rough for me in case you can't tell, so this morning I was less than enthusiastic)
Dear God,
Please give me strength and patience today. Change my heart. Please help me not to want to throw sweet potatoes across the room when my children refuse to eat perfectly healthy food that I would give my right arm for right now. Please help Hosford not to say the word "yucky" at every meal. Please help me not to have a short fuse and take my feelings out on my husband when he says, "you chose to do this, no one made you." Give me peace and help me to remember those to whom these seven foods would be the greatest blessing, across the world and even here in the US. I pray to be drawn closer to the Holy Spirit today in my weakness and brokenness. Amen
I know he is listening because right after I finished Hosford and I had this exchange:
H: Mama, what are you having for breakfast?
Me: Eggs and a sweet potato
H: Yummy! I love eggs!
Me: You do? Do you want some?
H: No, I am having pancakes.
Me: Yes you are :)
Makes it easier to eat when someone else tells you it is yummy, even if he is 4 and you know he would not touch an egg with a ten foot pole :)
Prayers welcome today...I need them :)
