Preschool, Zoo, Fights with mom

Today God blessed me with HIS strength. Strength to be true to my word. Strength to pull screaming children from the zoo. Strength to walk past another parent with a screaming, crying child and carrying one kicking, hitting, biting child. Strength to get them both into the car. Strength to drive while they screamed. And Grace to pull over and loving say, "That's enough, now." and hug them and help them to calm down.

As the cries faded, and the kids finished their lunch, I thanked God.

I learned today that sometimes being a mom means that praying.
