Challenge

I had a tough week with the kids this week. Brad wasn't feeling well so he was extra whiney, which made ben extra whiney (twin thing) and Adam was extra rammy, if that's a word, and asked waaaaaaaaaay too many questions, it was driving me nuts. Plus i was being treated for a bladder infection and running a low grade fever. I wasn't very patient with them, and really wasn't enjoying them much. Fridays the boys and i have a tradition of eating out at Mcdonalds, since Rod gets pizza in at the shop on fridays and doesn't come home for lunch. Whenever i take the boys anywhere we always get looks and comments, mostly about the twins. So as we were setting up camp at "our table", people were commenting to them and about them, and i remember thinking if they think they're so cute and cool then maybe i could get them to take them home! i was still in frustration mode from the week. After a bit, out of the blue, an older man walks over and says "you do a really good job with your crew." i said thank you, but i immediately felt guilty for receiving such a compliment with the thoughts i've had about them and my impatience throughout the week...his comment made me think and realize at a bigger level, that even if things aren't going great with the boys i still have a job to do and need to do the best job i can and honor God in the way i handle them. but it sure isn't easy in the midst of things, is it? but God is good and helps us in all things. So this was my challenge, thanks for reading :)
