Future..

Sometimes the tasks gets overwhelming...

The dishes

that never end..

the accidents that

need to be cleaned..

the noses to wipe..

the tears to dry..

the voices

to quiet..

the beds to make

All the tasks

sometimes make me forget..

for a moment

that I am not called to parent

"tasks"

I am called to parent

little wonderful people..

with a future..

a purpose..

A whole life ahead that I can't even begin to imagine...

When I remember that..

The tasks

become significant..

They are all little ways I am preparing them for their future..

Their wonderful..

amazing..

God given..

future.

And I get to be a part of it.

For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
