One of Those Days

November 28, 2011 by Guest Author 8 Comments

Today was one of those days,

When the dishes were stacked in the sink so high
The laundry sitting patiently waiting for me to pass by.
Looking at me, letting me know that I am a slacker
The kids leaving a trail of crumbs, I think it was a cracker.

As I finish cleaning one room, the next falls apart
No doubt the kids have been there, and of the mess been a part.
If only I could have a clean house I would be happy I say,
But I don’t want to face a clean home without them someday.

Give me the clothes on the floor, the unmade beds,
Children playing knights with pails for helmets on their heads.
Let me hear their sweet innocent prayers as they bow to pray
As I say one of my own that from God they never stray.

Lord, when I grumble and complain of the noise,
Help me to remember that I blessed to have my girl and two boys.
Noise is part of the deal, as is the kisses goodnight,
Combing their hair, kissing their hurts, and holding them tight.

Abba, I thank you for my family so crazy and wild
For my time to be pregnant with each and every child.
Nothing can be better than the time I spend watching them grow,
For when I think I have done nothing, their hearts I have to show.

My own heart I have to inspect and make sure it is right,
That of what is important I don’t lose sight.
Three little souls waiting to be trained, cared for and loved,
To serve a Lord who loves all and is waiting for us up above.

Look past the dirty rooms, and toys all over the floor,
Look to that which is important that will get their souls in the door.

Let today be one of those days.

Welcome to Come Fill Your Cup!

CFYC About Image Welcome! We are so glad you stopped by. Come Fill Your Cup is a group of Christian ladies dedicated to equipping women for study and service. We know you are busy and that life’s hectic pace pulls you in so many directions, but you can’t truly be the woman God desires unless you take time to fill your own cup…not with spa days (though we love a good spa!) or the latest novel…but with God’s Holy Word. We want to help you with that! Our goal is to reach you in the midst of your busy day and give you encouragement, education, and fellowship as you strive to live the life God has laid before you. Our prayer is that we can help fill your cup so that you, in turn, can overflow to all those around you. So, as we like to say…come fill your cup, and let it overflow!
