The Cure for Feeling Annoyed, Irritated, and Frustrated.

       

I love gifts! Love them. They are one of my top love languages.

Gifts make me happy, excited, and joyful.

I even have a whole Pinterest board dedicated to gifts I would like to get.

Are you taking my love of gifts seriously, yet?

I LOVE THEM!!! (yes, I am yelling that)

Do I have this same passion for my children?

Hmmmmmmmmm…

I can without hesitation say I love my children. Love, love, love my children. I love them more than my own life. But I can also admit it is easy for me to feel:

irritated rather than happy

annoyed rather than excited

and frustrated rather than joyful.

Please, tell me I am not alone?

While reading Revolutionary Parenting I was reminded of this scripture.

It has now become my parenting scripture mantra.

While I feel irritated I say it.

When I feel annoyed I say it.

When I feel frustrated I say it.

And guess what? It works!

It shifts my perspective, it reminds me what these little creatures truly are, and it makes a better mama.

Amen.

If you are in need of a cure for the frustrated, annoyed, and irritated mama feelings this is your medicine.
