I honestly wish people knew how hard it is for single parents to do basically anything. Getting out of the house, getting everyone to bed, getting free time to my own... all require a lot of coordination and there is NO backup. There is no one to fill in when I'm sick or to step up when I just need 5 minutes or to tell me I'm doing a good job when everyone's asleep and the house is so quiet.

Sunday thoughts

  Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. Isaiah 1:27 find this quote to really correlates what's going on in the world today where people are turning away from religion and yet still pointing fingers. They're blaming the immigrants they're blaming the people who are separated from their kids and that they're not loving them the way that God has taught us to love people and I just wish that God would surely bring his spirit and his grace
