A Simple Grace

He was screaming uncontrollably. I was beyond exhausted and Joey was still working at the Olive Garden. Max was tiny, and would not nap. Nothing would soothe him, and I had no clue what else to do. I called Joey, and was probably crying myself. Once he arrived home, he was able to settle me down, and Max did eventually fall asleep.

Fast forward a month shy of five years, and I find myself exhausted once again. I didn’t sleep well last night. I had too much on my mind. This morning my brain was in a fog, so I told Max that I needed to take a nap. So I set the boys up with a movie, and my little man occasionally checked in on me, prevented his brother from waking me up completely, and graced me with some time just to sleep. Max is such a blessing. God has used him to stretch me and grow me, and shower me with his grace. I am humbled by what a wonderful child Max is turning out to be, and I am in awe of how God is shaping and molding the tender heart of my son.
