day twentyfour

dear god

thank you so much for today. thank you for being able to play inside and outside with the kids all day. thank you for a slow work day so that when they napped i got to nap too. thank you for a great job and for a great friend/boss. thank you for me and sean's relationship where we can challenge each other and have fun together and celebrate when the other grows.

i am pretty wiped out today after our long day yesterday. help the kids not to feel like they got ripped off in the mom department today 'cause i was all achey.

i ask that i could feel back to myself tomorrow so i can interact more with them.

i pray for frank and ezekiel. we miss them and hope they are well and learning about you.

thank you for kristen who is working so hard recruiting for kids that are hard to place in the foster system.

i ask that you heal rachel and zachary.

i pray that you will help richelle find a good, stable day care option.

i ask that you will give colton the grace to be patient with tylon. i ask that you will give him your love for his new brother. help me and sean give him the tools to handle this well.

help sean hang in there tonight being as tired as i am and still having school.

i ask that you would forgive me for all of my shortcomings today. i know there were many. please help me to do better tomorrow.

please help sean and i to have super restorative sleep tonight so that we can be good for our respective tasks tomorrow and help the boys sleep great so that they can have great attitudes.

amen...
