a mother's touch

You know those days where nothing seems to work out right? Or everything goes wrong, depending how you view the glass. Those days when reality feels the same as a soap opera episode and that nap you so desperately needed becomes significantly dwarfed to all the other things that need attention and "getting done." Exhaustion kicks in, emotions go awry, and reason is thrown out the window while insanity is ushered in the door.

Y'know those kind of days...

Also known as "yesterday" for me.

I'll spare you the details, be let it suffice to say Sunday afternoon was NOT pretty in my usually-hopeful eyes. But despite the raging sea of craziness, my mama took me aside and asked me how I was doing. As I started to cry, she told me things I needed to hear. She went to lunch with me, just the two of us, and we talked and talked, until I was blue in the face.

Once again, she set aside everything else and simply took care of me. She's laid down her life for me time and time again, and yesterday was no exception.

Even in the midst of "those days", sometimes all it takes is some time with Jesus and simply a mother's touch to turn it all around.
