My two daughters have blessed me with three grandchildren ages 10, 6 and 1. My oldest daughter has to be at work at 5:30 a.m. so she drops her two off with me in the morning at 5:00. Yesterday I had all of them. While getting them ready for school, I said to myself, “I don’t know how working mothers do it.” I then reflected on my own life. Twenty years ago, I was in the same boat. I had three children ages 10, 6 and 1. And guess what? I made it.
I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength (Philippians 3:13). Whenever I feel overwhelmed, this has been my verse to live by: realizing that some things are too big for me to handle on my own but with God, all things are possible!
