grace

I will be honest, sometimes grace leaves me
when my son is jumping on the couch
when my daughter is screaming for more of something but she can't say what

all while my husband peaceful showers with no worries of someone barging in on him or having to stop shaving mid leg because the baby is crying

these moments I want to scream from the top of a mountain, but I can't leave my children unattended

so I scream from the top of my blog

i feel there is no grace for a parent whose son runs wild and whose daughter is spoiled

for a wife who longs for a peaceful shower

and yet there is

"But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me." 

2 Corinthians 12:9
