A great truth

This afternoon was a difficult one for me.

All I wanted to do was do a little light shopping at a few of my favorite stores. I wanted to quietly enjoy Hobby Lobby, Kohls and Target. Please.

Unfortunately, my kiddos had other plans which did not include either quiet or shopping.

So, while I was in the throes of my anger and frustration, an unfriendly truth slapped me in the face:

My greatest stress and my greatest pride in this world are the same thing-

When my children insist upon doing things their own way.
