Ep. 26: When the Days are Difficult and Exhausting

When our families go through battles with illness we know, as the mom, there seem to be no sick days for us. We may have quieter and relaxing days as we battle through the illness, but the needs of the home seem to await us until we are feeling better. Times of difficult trials can also place stress on our homes. How can we keep the peace of our homes when we do not at the moment see closure to the situation the Lord is bringing us through? Are you a tired mom out there who feels like everything you work so hard to get done seems to get almost immediately undone? I remember those days with toddlers in the house. Communicating clearly and patiently and pointing our children to Christ in our conversations with them is hard. Nurturing the hearts of our children is hard work. Day in and day out the workday of a mom can be physically but sometimes even more so emotionally exhausting. There is one comfort I can always bring us back to: I can assure you there is One who knows what it is like to be exhausted. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. ~ Hebrews 4:15 The hope today is to encourage you in these challenging times, give some practical help and point you back to God's Word.
