All in perspective

Tonight was quite stressful for me! I had a meeting after school, then got the boys, got dinner started, and tried to hold off the dinner-time meltdowns for Joshua and tried to sneak in some fun with the boys and play with trains before Daddy got home. It was just all too busy, with no down time and I was starting to feel overwhelmed at how much there was to do. Well, we were upstairs and I was just so frustrated at the toys everywhere and the fact that my house just never looks clean anymore. Jackson then turned to me and said just so sweetly, "Mama, it's okay. God is with you!" How can I feel overwhelmed when I had just been snapped back to reality by my 3-year-old?? Of course, God is with me--no need to stress about the little things. Thanks, love, for reminding mom of the things that really matter! He's been learning Bible verses at his preschool and they talk about Jesus during circle time and prayer time every morning, so apparently it is starting to sink in. It's wonderful and it was just what I needed to hear this evening!
