God sees!

This is a quick post about a moment I had when putting the girls to bed this evening. It has been a bit of a lonely week where J has been out with church stuff and also seeing some old friends for all of Saturday. He was out this evening at a leadership evening (although did help with the majority of bedtime!). As I was singing 'The Name of the Lord' to the girls as their bedtime song, I felt the Holy Spirit bringing a sense of affirmation for what I was doing. It was like a warmth from God; that he sees the moments when I am with the children by myself and that it is appreciated. Not that J doesn't appreciate it, but that God sees all the difficult moments and the small battles which I don't always report to my husband. 

Being a mum can be lonely at times, when you feel you are the only one responsible for dealing with all the little dramas of the day. But God is always there! I feel so much better about releasing my husband to serve the church and others when I think about mothering in this way.
