I wanted to use this blog to only write about happy and positive things that are going on in my life; however, lately my family has been experiencing some hard times. Actually I should say my husband is having a hard time after having both of his hips replaced. At only 34 years old. A lot of people keep saying, "he's just so young for that." I guess you expect only old people to have hip replacement surgeries and only old people to suffer with arthritis. Nope. It could happen to anyone at any age. It's unfortunate that this has had to happen to such a sweet and amazing man. However, no matter how tough it gets and how much pain he's in, he gets through it with a good attitude. I don't know how he does it.
And as he recovers from surgery I'm doing all I can to take care of his needs as well as doing my regular duties as a mother and housewife. It's not easy. There are moments when I lose control but then I quickly remind myself that it will all be okay. You see, I want to be a perfect wife and a perfect mother. I'm not. I'm only human. I can only take so much. I can only give so much. If only I could solve all the problems in the world ... or at least in my home. I guess that's why God calls us to lean on Him during these hard times. These are the moments I'm so glad to have faith. It gets me through.
Another thing that helps me get through is knowing that these two individuals need me ...
They need a mom who is always going to be there for them. To love them. Guide them. Encourage them. Nurture them. Discipline them. Give them the tools they need to learn and grow. God has given me a big responsibility when He made me a mother. I can't take it for granted. He also wants me to be a good wife to my husband and see that his needs are met as well.
Well, it's been a rough day but now it's time to turn off the lights and get a good night's rest and then do it all over again tomorrow ... with a BETTER attitude and another chance. Good night friends!
