Today I didn't say the right things. I didn't give enough hugs. I didn't listen to all their imaginary stories. Today I hurried them through what could have been very special moments, to achieve my binding agenda. Today my prayers were too short and my lectures too long. My smiles, I'm sure, didn't hide my fatigue. Today I didn't heal any wounds, in fact, I'm sure I caused some. Their tears fell and I felt to lifeless to wipe them away. Today I felt completely defeated and inadequate for this position called " mommy".
But as I kneel in prayer to confess my failures, i am reminded...
I am not their hope.
I am not their total joy.
I am not their salvation.

HE IS.
