TGIO

Have you every had one of those days!? Those TGIO(Thank God its over) days? Well today was one of those days! My day consisted of enduring much arguing to which I reply, "Do everything without arguing or complaining so you will shine like stars in the universe." Are you shining? I just wish I had a tape recorder to just hit play for the hundredth time I had to say it. Really I am sure the tape would have just worn itself out so I would have to voice it anyway.

Next top repeated phrase of the day. After much sibling rivalry and selfishness I replied, "Do good and share for this is a pleasing sacrifice unto the Lord." Are you doing good and sharing?

Next top phrase of the day. After much disobedience I replied, "Children obey your parents for this is right in the Lord!" Probably the one I am MOST passionate about right now.

Now I suppose with a tape recorder after each repeated phrase I could not get the increasing volume and emotion into it but really......cannot mama throw a fit too? What would that look like exactly if I threw myself down in Walmart on the ground wailing my arms? How would that make you feel? That is how I feel on the inside anyway. But I do have the promise that "God's Word does not return void but it goes about to accomplish what it was sent for". Those words that speak life and instruction to my children will eventually bear fruit. I must believe that in faith! I also have the promise that I am clinging to tightly as I throw myself into bed, "He gives us new mercies every morning." I about had my fill of mercies today. So with that all said, I am turning in and TGIO!
