Full Hands

The other day after dropping Mackenzie off at school I was trying to get myself and both boys inside.  Thomas loves to open doors for me (well, for everyone :)  ) so he wanted me to hold his Eeyore, sippy cup, and whatever else he was carrying at the time.  Well, being mom, I already had my hands full - baby, purse, diaper bag, keys, etc...I told him that I couldn't help him, "mommy's hands are already full."
You know, my hands are full just about all the time.  Sometimes it's literal and sometimes it's figurative, but as "mom" my hands are definitely full. 
When we finally did make it inside, I realized that God's hands are never too full for us or our problems.  Just thinking about that truth made my full hands seem lighter.  If I ever feel like my hands are too full, I just need to remember that I have a God who is bigger and can handle anything!
How amazing is that?!

Another Day

Just wanted to stop in real quick.  My life has been a blur lately.  I've been running almost non-stop. 
So this morning I wanted to stop and take a moment to thank God for today.

Have you thanked God lately?  I know it's so hard sometimes to take the time to really S T O P and sit in a quiet moment of prayer and thank God for all of his blessings, but if you do, it'll be so refreshing!

God knows our hearts, but the act of stopping for Him, I think, is so much more.

Hope your day today is blessed and full of thanks!
