God does notice us and he watches over us. But it is usually through another person that he meets our needs. -Spencer W Kimball
So this week has not been the best. I'm tired and stressed out. Frankly, I need a vacation. My patience has been very thin the last two days and I've been pretty grumpy. I was a little short with Caitlin this morning and when I sat down to play with her I put her on my lap and hugged her and told her I was sorry and we played and had fun together. I put her down for a nap and got my phone out and got on Instagram. I follow Stephanie Nielson on there and she had posted a picture of a poem she has hanging in her bedroom. It was the answer to my prayers today and what I needed to see. It says:
Oh, give me patience when wee hands
Tug at me with their small demands
And give me gentle and smiling eyes
Keep my lips from hasty replies
And let not weariness, confusion, or noise
Obscure my vision of life's fleeting joys
So when, in years to come my house is still
No bitter memories its room may fill
Today, I am very grateful for a Heavenly Father who knows me personally and will help when I call. Happy Friday!
