I recently watched a YouTube video by "Girl and the Word" (should totally watch her videos btw). She talked about enjoying our most mundane and repetitive moments.


And it's true.

We are sometimes not grateful enough for those moments.


Like this picture here. For me to be able to catch my son's funny napping positions everyday... Won't last forever.
He's going to grow up one day and won't need me to tuck him in, to stay, to cuddle, and to read books til he falls asleep.



It is these repetitive yet temporary moments in our lives that actually make our lives... Worth living.




I have been complaining a lot. I have been believing in the lies of not being useful because I am a stay at home mom. Or that I'm not growing as a person because I just clean and cook all day.


But one day, I won't have to do all these. And I'll probably miss these moments.



So I will continue to work on being grateful.
Grateful that I am able to clean and cook for my family.
Grateful that I get to stay at home with my son and witness all his successes and failures.
His moments of growth physically, emotionally, and mentally.
And more.
Grateful that I have a hard-working and loving husband.
Grateful that we are healthy and safe.



I know my emotions have been a roller coaster but I will be grateful for that too.
Because that means God is still chiseling and molding me to be the woman, wife, and mother He has created me to be.





And His wonderful hands are trustworthy.
