Being able to find joy in the moments of our lives is imperative to
surviving as a Mommy. I am including real-life moments from
Moms that I know for your Saturdays. I am also including a
confession for you to remind yourself that there is joy in every
journey if we look for it.
My oldest daughter walked into my office one morning holding a large
stuffed animal, a rubber stamp, and another toy. With her sweetest voice
she said, "Mommy, do you want to watch me juggle?" My heart leapt
at the thought that my four year-old had mastered such an extraordinary
skill. "Of course I want to watch you juggle, sweatie," I said to my precious
little girl. My daughter poised herself for the feat, bracing herself for the
ensuing spectacle. She threw all of the objects into the air and, with no
effort whatsoever to catch them, watched sheepishly as they fell to her
feet. "What happened?" I asked her. "Well, Mommy, I guess that I
forgot that I don't even know how to juggle," came her reply.
Confession: Joy resides in my journey as a Mommy. I just need
to look for it. I purpose to allow God to show me how to find and
revel in my moments of joy.
