During the summer months especially, one passage of Scripture that brings comfort and peace in the midst of my busy life is Lamentations 3:22-23
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning, great is Your faithfulness.”
I hope that in the midst of your own busy day, you can take a moment to breathe. And smile 
Adding the next chapter of our story
Lord, I need your strength and grace
to handle each day’s hectic pace.
The days fly by, I dare not blink
I have no time to breathe or think.
The sun passes quickly in the sky
And without pause arrives the night.
Morning comes around too soon
Cereal, got it. Grab a spoon.
Fill the tummies, wipe the faces
Off they go to their happy places
The children moving in a blur
With things to build and glue and stir
The colors blend into a grey
Then SPLAT, “Kids, put that away!”
Clear the table, time for lunch
You’d think these kids were born to munch!
One, then two, no three, wait four.
Did I have that many kids before?
Daddy stands, moving away from the pack
He’s got just a minute before he’s due back
First a quick smooch, then a squeeze
“Would you pick up the cleaning, please?”
He looks perplexed when I laugh at his joke
and gobbles down his sandwich and Coke
Before I can utter, “Care for some more?”
He waves good bye and is out the door.
Naptime’s next, I whoop in glee
The next sixty minutes are just for me
I curl up with my book and wrap
and cherish time time of blessed nap
Someone needs me, someone’s singing
Doorbell chimes and phone is ringing
I had one minute of ‘nice and quiet’
Wish the rest would stop and try it!
I’m in the kitchen at the stove
Fizzles and smells and spices and love
Those are the ingredients of my life
I’m mommy and friend and neighbor and wife
We eat our dinner around the table
Talking non-stop in truths and fable
I stop for a minute and take it in
and think, “Tomorrow, let’s do it again!”
