On Thursday I was working at a house with many children. I was cleaning and as I sometimes do with every mop stroke and surfaced wipe I was over thinking pretty much everything (read-I was feeling reeeeaaallllyyy discouraged). In fact while mopping I was pretty much begging God to send me some encouragement. Not ten minutes later did a four you old boy walk into the room. He has been known to say such things as "you're disgusting" to his favorite neighbors and "you're a stinkpot" to pretty much everyone else (note-his parents are working on this). He walked in the room and said "You're the best". To which of course I picked him up and cried. He noticed and said that my eyes were red and asked if I had burned them....I laughed.
The Lord did in fact answer my prayer for encouragement, using one of the most unlikely sources, as if to say, this is from me. Does this solve all my problems...nope, but it is a great reminder that my Help comes from the Lord.
i both cried and laughed reading this post. What a great reminder that my Help comes from the Lord.
